The Need Has a Face

Hunger doesn't always look like hunger.

Sometimes it looks like a parent skipping meals so their children can eat.

Sometimes it looks like a child going to school without breakfast, unable to focus on learning.

Sometimes it looks like a senior choosing between medication and groceries.
