The Problem: Access to Food • There is enough food in America to feed all children, yet: • 10 million eligible kids don’t get free or reduced price school breakfast. • 16.3 million children qualify for summer meals but don’t receive them. 4
Teacher Survey Results Too many kids are coming to school too hungry to learn. • 80% • of teachers say they see children who regularly come to school hungry each week because they are not getting enough to eat at home. “Hungry children are distracted children. We want to make sure nothing gets in the way of our children performing well academically, including hunger.” - Arne Duncan 5
