Description:
Hunger is a reality for 1 in 8 Americans, including millions of children, seniors and working poor. Yet the problem of hunger in the U.S. has remained invisible to most Americans. Many people have the misperception that it is only associated with pockets of society. In actuality, we all know and are in contact with people who are affected by hunger. The “1 in 8” campaign shows everyday people living their lives. It opens the viewer’s eyes to the fact that hungry Americans are different from the stereotype. It is among us. The campaign urges viewers to discover that many people they interact with on a daily basis are not certain from where their next meal is coming. It also begins to seed the idea that access to food is an essential human need that gives everyone a chance for a better tomorrow. This realization will prompt more people to take action against hunger. For more information about this campaign visit www.feedingamerica.org.
