We all know the pangs in our stomach or the emptiness in our head when we haven't eaten, but have you ever experienced hunger? 

40 million Americans, more than 12 million children live with food insecurity - that sensation of emptiness and pangs of hunger, sometimes till it hurts.  Hunger and lack of nutrition affect everything from brain chemistry, physical health, resistance to disease, our very existence. 

 

Children cannot learn on an empty stomach.

A staggering one in four Maryland families faces food insecurity.  ICA tackles hunger in our community. We are committed to helping families in need.
