Hunger Hits Home (Food Network)

Every day, more than 16 million children in the U.S. struggle to eat and the ongoing economic downturn forces more and more Americans to slip beneath the poverty line. In our nation's capital, funding cuts threaten existing assistance programs even as the need for them increases.

Hunger Hits Home, a collaboration between Food Network and Share Our Strength, examines the causes, complications and misconceptions about childhood hunger in the U.S. and offers a glimpse at some innovative solutions being put into practice today.
