This October, The Hub has rallied an army of 100 Food Fighters to each raise $1,000 for our mission to give everyone in Shreveport access to a restored life. Why food? Because for many of our neighbors, restoration starts with a meal.

Right now in Louisiana:

Louisiana by the numbers

• An estimated 827,690 people in Louisiana live with food insecurity.
• 248,630 of those people are children. 
• This amounts to roughly 18%, or 1 in 6 people in our state, struggling to feed themselves or their households.

 Caddo Parish by the numbers

• Households who can’t provide basic needs: 55%
• Food Insecurity rate: 18.9%
• Food Insecure population: 43,920 people
• Cost per meal: $3.65

But we're not backing down. Here's how we are fighting hunger every single day:

• 1,000+ hot meals served monthly at The Lovewell and Purchased Resource Center
• 100+ daily shoppers at the Eatwell food store
• Weekly groceries for participants in both our VIP and Purchased programs

When you give to the Great Food Fight, you’re raising more than dollars—you’re raising hope, dignity, and opportunity for those living in poverty.
