Hungry Children in U.S. Increases by 50% in One Year

How can a country like the United States of America allow its children to go hungry. It is amazing and upsetting to me, and I hope to everyone, that the incidence of hunger in children in the United States was up 50% in 2007 and almost 700,000 children went hungry in the United States at some point in 2007. It is predicted that because of the economic downturn the numbers will increase in 2008.

If you are able to donate to local food banks and local and national organizations that feed the hungry, please consider helping. Noone should have to go hungry, especially our children.
