"If you knew there was a child in your neighborhood who did not have enough to eat...what would you do?"
 


                                     THE FACTS
  • Twenty percent of the families in Lowndes County are below the poverty level and are  struggling to meet the basic needs of their families. 
  • Approximately 60% of the children in the Lowndes County area receive free or reduced meals.
  • For many of the children in these families, the meals provided at school are the only meals they receive on a given day which results in a large "gap" of time over the weekends that a child lacks proper nutrition.
  • This "nutritional gap" results not only in increased health risks but also diminished learning capacity and behavioral problems. 

Mission Statement
Hungry At Home was established to "bridge the gap" between home and school so children do not have to be hungry while away from school.

Vision
Our vision is to eliminate hunger as a road block to the success and well-being of our children.
