THE WEEKEND
HUNGER GAP
According to the USDA, approximately 14.1 million children in the U.S. experience food insecurity. For many of these kids, school meals are a primary source of nutrition during the week — but when Friday comes, that support disappears. For families already stretched thin, the gap between Friday lunch and Monday breakfast can be the hardest part of the week.
Through our partnership with Blessings in a Backpack, Two Birds helps make sure weekends don’t mean going hungry for children who depend on regular meals to grow, learn and thrive.
