Figures updated in August 2007

Hunger strikes 1 in 7 East Tennesseans. In our community more than 245,000 people are at risk of going hungry on any given day. Hunger affects many people regardless of ethnicity, sex, age or class.

The working poor are frequently afflicted with hunger as they struggle to make ends meet, often because they do not qualify for government benefits aimed at helping the impoverished. Children are also at a higher risk of hunger. Almost 22% of children in East Tennessee are at high-risk of experiencing hunger.

We estimate that we are currently only reaching about 1/3rd of the people living in hunger in our community. 1 in 5 youth and 1 in 7 seniors are at risk of going hungry today.
