VIDEO: One Volunteer’s Hunger Story
Catherine grew up in rural Indiana in a single parent family, struggling to make ends meet. At school, she relied on her school’s meal program for her food that day. Catherine remembers how difficult it was to concentrate in class as her stomach ached. And when hungry children like Catherine leave school on Friday, they carry with them the dread of another weekend without food.
No child should have to face the weekend—65 hours—not knowing when he or she will eat next.
