More than 16 million kids in America live in households that struggle to put food on the table. This is called food insecurity. What is food insecurity? According to the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture), food insecurity is when the consistent access to adequate food is limited by a lack of money and other resources at times during the year.  

For my social action project, I wanted to raise awareness and help fight against food insecurity and hunger in DC. It astounds me that in one of the wealthiest and most advanced countries in the world, there are still communities that are going hungry. Nearly one in five DC residents live at or below the poverty and have some levels of food insecurity.

All donations will go directly to SOME (So Others Might Eat), a non-profit organization in Washington, D.C. that exists to help the poor and homeless of our nation’s capital. Please help me out by donating! Anything and everything is greatly appreciated, thank you!
