Statistics tell us where hunger exists, but they don't tell the whole story.

The @FAO’s latest report on global food security dropped a few weeks ago and stated that 645 million people worldwide are currently facing hunger. Behind every digit of that number is a real person. A parent trying to provide for their family, a student working to stay focused in school or a farmer growing crops to earn an income. That's why Rise Against Hunger's work to end hunger goes beyond providing meals. We partner with local organizations to support school feeding programs, strengthen food systems and invest in solutions that foster a community’s resilience and self-sufficiency. The FAO’s new report reinforces something we see every day: ending hunger requires long-term collaboration, local leadership and consistent investment in communities. The challenges are real, but so is the progress that's possible when people work together. Check out our blog at the #LinkInBio to learn more about what this year's report means for our work around the world.
