Protein Power!

Hunger is a complex issue. It's not just getting hungry people food, it's about getting people the right kinds of foods. Healthy food costs more, meaning foods that help with development and set children up for success are a privilege not afforded to all. An egg may seem like a normal breakfast for most of us, but to a family that doesn't know where their next meal is from, it's half the protein a child needs for the day, it's all 9 essential amino acids and a chance at a better tomorrow.
A food secure future for all starts today.
