Hidden Hunger in the Triangle

Hidden Hunger in the Greater Triangle

53,538 children are living in poverty in the 7 counties Inter-Faith Food Shuttle serves. We believe that hunger is unacceptable and these children deserve the chance to have healthy meals and the opportunity to break the cycle of poverty.
