It always –somewhat—surprises me when I read that children goes to bed hungry in America; BUT then again, I shouldn’t be all that surprised at all. The need is great and especially so during the upcoming months. NO CHILD SHOULD GROW UP HUNGRY IN AMERICA, BUT ONE IN FIVE CHILDREN STRUGGLES WITH HUNGER. They go to bed hungry. They get and go to school hungry. Their parents doesn’t have the funds to even give them lunch money or the wherewithal to pack them a brown bag lunch. THIS IS TRULY DISGRACEFUL.
