Facts about poverty and hunger in America

Even in the world’s greatest food-producing nation, children and adults face poverty and hunger in every county across America. In 2017:

40 million people struggle with hunger in the United States, including more than 12 million children.

A household that is food insecure has limited or uncertain access to enough food to support a healthy life.

Households with children were more likely to be food insecure than those without children

58% of food-insecure households participated in at least one of the major federal food assistance program — the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly Food Stamps); the National School Lunch Program and the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (often called WIC)
