What we aim to solve
Childhood hunger in the US is a big broblem. With 1 in 5 youth at risk of hunger we have to do something to break the cycle of hunger and poverty. We are aiming to break the cycle starting with kids doing work to help kids in need, and giving the kids in need the ability to help themselves.
