A Look at Progress: Map the Meal Gap
At No Kid Hungry Arkansas, we’re committed to ending childhood hunger, and while the latest Map the Meal Gap data shows an uptick in the number of children experiencing hunger in 2022, it’s important to recognize the tremendous progress we’ve made since the Arkansas Hunger Relief Alliance became the lead partner for the No Kid Hungry campaign in 2010.
Since then, we’ve seen a significant decrease in the total number of children facing hunger in our state—a clear indicator that our collective efforts are making a real difference. This progress wouldn’t be possible without the dedication of our community, partners, and advocates who work tirelessly to ensure that every child has access to the nutritious food they need.
Though challenges remain, we’re more determined than ever to continue this important work. Together, we’ll keep pushing forward until every child in Arkansas has the chance to grow up healthy and hunger-free.
