[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Google the data. Among other sources: http://www.dchunger.org/about/facts.html http://feedingamerica.org/hunger-in-america/hunger-studies/map-the-meal-gap.aspx From Cap Area Food Bank: D.C. has the second highest child food insecurity rate of any other state in the nation, with 30 percent of children under the age of 18 (31,460 out of 101,879 children) living in food insecure households.[/quote] Someone should be asking why this happens and what exactly the stats show in the DC area given that school age kids 3 and up in DC are entitled to free breakfast, free lunch, free snacks and sometimes free dinner. The first 3 are available year round. This is in addition to food stamps and WIC their parents receive at home. [/quote]
