Childhood poverty is solvable. You can help right now.
1 in 6 kids in the U.S. — almost 12 million — are growing up in poverty. Kids who aren't getting what they need to grow up healthy and strong. Kids in cities, suburbs, and small towns, in nearly every neighborhood across the country.
Last year, the cost of the basics rose faster than inflation. Families are paying more for rent, groceries, and the electric bill, and paychecks don't stretch as far. For many kids, that means going to bed hungry or starting school already behind.
This can feel too big to fix. Or like it's just the way things are. But it's not. Poverty has causes we can change, like the lack of stable housing, educational opportunities, and healthcare. Local nonprofits across the country know what works, and they need more people behind them.
Add your name and stand with community organizations in the fight to end childhood poverty.
