Child Hunger:
Children need nutrients to help them fuction throughout the day. They get these nutrients from the food they put into their bodies. One in four children are at risk for hunger in Arkansas. School, for some children, is the only place they recieve nutrients needed to survive. This just breaks my heart to know that some of the children I teach go hungry when they leave school. I am so glad to know that there are programs out there that can families and children get the things they need, like food and clothes. I have provided links for you to read more and how you can help.
