In Spokane County 1 in 5 children live in "food insecure" homes

 

 That means those families don't have enough food for every family member to lead a healthy life. This doesn't always mean that there is nothing to eat. But it can mean that children get smaller portions than they need, or parents aren't able to afford nutritious foods. This food insecurity threatens a child’s well-being and potential for success.
