While 14.3% may not seem like a lot to some
people, it averages to be about, 41.3 million
families. This number increases each year,
and will continue to grow until something
drastic is done to end it.

Donated Meals
If a family chose to donate even a eighth of
that $5,372 each year, 419 starving people
could be eating a hot meal, filled with all of the
recommended daily nutrition. We purchase
pre-cooked items in bulk and serve them hot
on the street. It only costs $1.60 per meal we
provide.(Cost per meal)
I understand that 419 may seem like a small
number in comparison to the 41.3 million
families experiencing poverty; however, if
each of the 74,247,040 families fitting into
this average income class donated an eighth
of their play money we could provide well
over 3 billion warm meals a year. This may not
end poverty in full, put it will definitely take a
large chunk out of it.
