The face of hunger may not be what you expect—one in five children in the U.S. lives in poverty.1 In fact, 43.6 million Americans are living in below the poverty line.2 These families have few resources for purchasing food and as a result the number of children suffering from poverty and hunger is increasing.3 The situation only gets worse when disaster strikes. Last year alone, there were 81 declared disasters across America4—disasters that caused homelessness, hunger, and more.

Operation Blessing has warehouses in Virginia, Florida and California, with partner organizations across the nation.
