At Hunger Free America, we know that women with children are disproportionately impacted by hunger. According to the USDA, female headed households with children nationwide had a food insecurity rate of 33.1% in 2022, nearly triple the overall rate of 12.8%. Of the 15 thousand calls we received through our national hunger hotline in 2023, 77% were from women.

Hunger Free America takes a big bite out of hunger every day, connecting families with life-saving food resources and effectively advocating for public policies that raise wages and ensure an adequate food safety net.
