Voices of Hunger 

"My daughter is 10. She knows. She says, 'Daddy, do you want to talk about it?' I just tell her to eat up."

“It’s hard to make $100 worth of groceries stretch for a month when you have 2 boys. Most days, I’ll skip meals so my boys can eat.”

”I don’t have anyone to help me. One week I fell down my porch stairs and couldn’t get to the pantry. I don’t wanna talk about how I ate that month.”

“It’s about sacrificing. I guess you could say I’m fasting cuz I haven’t ate in 2 days.”

“No, I have a home. I’m just frustrated you know. Electricity got cut off...I come to get milk for my baby. The milk in the fridge is spoiled.”

“I just pray every day that I’ll be able to buy food in the grocery again one day.”

“Think about it. My check is $1200 a month. Minus $800 for rent, about $150 for utilities, $70 a month for gas, $75 for my cell phone...that leaves me with about $100 to get groceries for the month, hygiene, and anything for my child.”

“I usually just eat one meal a day. If I do that, I can eat for the whole month. I’m a little older now so it doesn’t bother me as much.”

“I used to volunteer here. Now I’m coming here for food. Pretty ironic wouldn’t you say?”

“It gets really tough at the end of the month. I wanna make it last, but my kids HAVE to eat. All that brain development stuff happens for them now.”

"Have not eaten in 4 days, all my money was spent on food for my daughter."
