"Hungry" is no way to spend childhood.
Every day The Salvation Army helps cure hunger by providing nutritious meals to neighbors in need.
17.4 million families go to bed hungry each night in the U.S. And an additional 6.9 million families face very low daily food security - that means they don't always know where their next meal is coming from.
The Salvation Army feeds an average of 156,000 every single day in the U.S.
These meals are served to anyone in need - this includes homeless people of all ages, as well as individuals and families who may be down on their luck and in need of a helping hand. In addition to addressing the immediate symptoms of food insecurity, our programs are designed to help identify and treat its root cause. This approach focuses on meeting the physical, mental and spiritual needs of each person and helps move many from hungry to fully healed.
Each year The Salvation Army provides 56 million meals to those who are facing the threat of food insecurity.
Food Pantries
This program plays a crucial role in addressing food insecurity and ensuring that individuals and families have access to nutritious meals. By offering a variety of options, including fresh produce and canned goods, food pantries empower people to make choices that suit their preferences and dietary needs while also promoting independence and dignity.
Meal Programs
Whether through sit-down meals or mobile delivery services, these programs help us reach individuals who may have difficulty accessing food distribution centers due to various reasons such as mobility issues or lack of transportation. These programs not only provide sustenance but also offer valuable human interaction, which can combat feelings of isolation and loneliness among vulnerable populations.
Overall, both food pantries and meal programs are instrumental in addressing hunger and food insecurity within communities, ensuring that everyone has access to the nutritious food they need to thrive.
