New Data In - Stats impacting your business, your personal income, and your fellow neighbor: 1. The State of #Hunger in Texas In Texas, 4,057,910 people are facing hunger, and among them, 1,348,600 are children. Shockingly, 1 in 7 people and 1 in 6 children experience hunger. These aren’t just statistics; they represent our neighbors, classmates, and fellow community members who struggle to put food on the table. 2. The Cost of a Meal The average cost of a meal in Texas is $3.11. Imagine trying to stretch that amount to provide nutritious meals for your family day after day.
