I Am Child Hunger in America

11 million children in the United States don’t have enough to eat – that’s 1 in 7 kids. While most people say they care about the issue of domestic hunger, far fewer take action. Hunger affects children in every community across the country, yet it can often be hard to recognize when a child is struggling with it. “I Am Child Hunger in America” juxtaposes technology with humanity to help people visualize the breadth of the issue and begin to question their own perceptions of hunger in America. The campaign combines real images of children facing hunger, USDA data and artificial intelligence to create a lifelike portrait that represents the stories of children facing hunger in our country.

And for her family, that can be hard because there's not a lot of food in the fridge to feed everyone. Her parents often have to go without eating just so Zoey and her siblings can have food in their stomachs. Despite her family’s struggles, Zoey’s energy and hope shine through even in the most challenging times. And with the help of their local food pantry, Zoey is now able to get the food she needs to grow up strong.
