Ending childhood hunger!!
Food insecurity
Child food insecurity
• ¼ children are food insecure
in wake county
• Being food insecure can and
has resulted in child obesity
• Some days kids will even go
without eating
Free and reduced lunch
•
students that have free or
reduced lunch may not have
food at home. Some students
only depend on school meals.
What if they miss the bus? Or
what if there car breaks down
and they have to stay at home
all day? then what will they
eat?
• 53,687 or 34% of wake county
school children are enrolled
in free and reduced lunch.
How We keep It Going!
Keep the money
• Raising money
• Dances
• Food drives
Us 8th graders
• When we leave we will pass
it down to the 7th graders
and they will pass it down
to the 6th graders we will
keep it going even when
we’re not here because we
will have the next
generation of Dillard drive
students to keep it going.
Food pantry
• We have a new idea. A lot of
schools may have a school
garden, we came with a food
pantry.
• The items in our food pantry
includes: meats, vegetable,
snacks, fruit, breads, and
baked good. Every thing
must be non-perishable.
• Our idea is like back pack
buddies. We want to send
students home with
something to eat over the
weekend.
• We are also supplying
book bags for our peers.
Food waste
• 40% of food is wasted but 25% of
children are hungry in wake
county.
• An example of food that we have
witnessed over the summer is the
summer meals program. After
every one ate and if there were
any extra meals they would have
to be thrown away when we could
have given them away. Or if we
were still hungry we could not
get seconds.
