Homelessness and hunger are no longer just

urban problems

Homelessness and hunger exists around the corners from our own neighborhoods

Homelessness and hunger is rising

most rapidly among families

and in the suburbs

The problem is most acute

among women with children

Families may be doubled up with another family . . .

. . . or living in a motel room

What would your family life look like if you were in a motel

room?

What would getting ready to go to

school look like if your family lived in

a motel room?

Doing homework and studying is a lot different than most of us are used to

Teens are among the fastest rising demographic for homelessness

Homeless and hungry children in suburban schools

blend in – they don’t want attention
