Good nutrition is important for every child to grow to their full potential.
According the Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest North Carolina, 22.8% of children living in Northwest NC are food insecure (1 in every 4 children). Nationwide, 1 in every 6 children lives in a food insecure household. To address this problem, a number of schools and agencies in our community are providing meals to children at no cost during the summer months.
