66 million
elementary school-aged children attend class hungry every day
WHY WE GIVE
Here’s the bottom line: when children are provided consistent school meals their attendance doubles and achievement improves. At Home Room Co., every purchase you make feeds children. We give because we know that together we can help more children grow up healthy and strong. Your purchase contributes directly to this goal. Childhood hunger is a problem with a solution, but we must all be part of it.
Hunger is a daily reality for 795 million people around the world, the most vulnerable of whom are often children. Their mental and physical health, along with their potential to create a better future, is dependent upon proper nutrition. For many children, a school lunch is the only meal they receive all day.
Malnutrition can result in long-term neural issues in the brain, which can impact a child's emotional responses, reactions to stress, learning disabilities, and other medical complications. Globally, it is estimated that ~ 160+ million children under the age of five are stunted because of poor nutrition. Outcomes associated with stunting include increased risk of mortality, increased disease risk, developmental delays, diminished ability to learn and lower school achievement, and reduced lifelong productivity.
Our dream for Home Room Co. is to make a real impact in children’s lives—through knowledge, art, and most important, regular, healthy meals.
No child should ever, ever go hungry.

ABOUT CHILDREN’S HUNGER FUND
Since 1991, Children’s Hunger Fund has delivered food and hope to children and families across America and around the world. More than 9 percent of the world population lives in extreme poverty, and most lack access to one or more basic human needs like sufficient food or safe drinking water. CHF works to address this and other needs by delivering school meals, Food Paks, and other aid to suffering children. Learn more at childrenshungerfund.org
