Friends

Food
Bank
during
Hunger
Action
Month
Nearly
one
in
four
children
in
La
Paz
County
are
"Food
Insecure"
meaning
they
don't
always
know
where
their
next
meal
is
coming
from.
With
little
money
to
spare
for
food,
many
in
our
com-
munity
—
friends,
family,
coworkers
—
often
go
with-
out
food
for
meals
at
a
time
and
have
no
other
choice
than
to
purchase
the
cheapest,
sometimes
expired,
groceries
to
feed
themselves
and
their
families.
Children
who
face
hunger
are
more
likely
to
struggle
in
school
and
experience
developmental
setbacks.
Kids
who
struggle
to
get
enough
to
eat
also
face
high-
er
risks
of
health
conditions
like
anemia
and
asthma.
