Newspaper Page Text6B SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ SATURDAY, JUNE 27, 2020 Feeding A Global Need: Youth Hunger And Malnutrition Continue To Grow (NAPSI)—According to the United States Department of Agriculture, in the U.S., more than 12 million children re- ceive free or reduced-price breakfast at school, and more than 29.7 million get lunch through the national school lunch program. For many, school meals are the only consistent food they get in a day and, while many school districts have continued distributing meals during the pandemic shutdown, when the school year ends, so do school meals. But there is hope and help. Nationally, companies and non-prof- it organizations are partnering to help meet the needs in the community. One such partnership between Herbalife Nutrition and Feed the Children, a non- profi t organization, aims at solving the issue of food insecurity. Th e two orga- nizations have united under the shared commitment to defeat hunger world- wide. Th e Importance of Nutrition Th e most vulnerable members of our society, children, rely on school meals and feeding programs to survive. Fam- ilies living paycheck to paycheck may not have savings or support systems to help them. When children are guaran- teed proper health and sanitation mea- sures, they are able to prevent and fi ght disease, enabling them to develop both physically and mentally into strong chil- dren who become contributing mem- bers of their communities. “As a nutrition company, we know that without adequate food and nutrition, children are unable to reach their full development potential both physically and mentally,” said Dr. Kent Bradley, Chief Health and Nutrition Offi cer, Helping children grow up strong and healthy are companies and non-profi t organizations that pro- vide kids with free meals when schools are closed. You can be part of the solution. Herbalife Nutrition. “In working with Feed the Children, we’ve learned the ex- tent of the issue of food insecurity.” Disturbingly, 66 million school-age children attend classes hungry across the developing world, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. As the world con- tinues to experience fear and uncertain- ty, resources become scarcer. Th e reality is that food-insecure families, especially kids, are going to be aﬀ ected more than most. Dr. Bradley adds, “as a global company providing healthy nutrition to millions of people around the world, we have a responsibility to help those in need of good nutrition.” According to the Food Research and Action Center, many of the children who face a nutrition gap when the school year ends also are aﬀ ected dis- proportionately by summer learning loss. Also known as the “summer slide,” this refers to the loss of academic skills and knowledge over the summer. Th is means these children return to school in the fall academically behind their peers and struggling to catch up before classes even begin. Partnering Together Companies, individual donors and community organizations are coming together to help vulnerable families and communities to ensure that millions who have lost access to food, don’t go hungry. In addition to programmat- ic support for Feed the Children, the Herbalife Nutrition Foundation has al- ready donated $50,000 to the organiza- tion for its pandemic response eﬀ orts, through the company’s Nutrition for Zero Hunger initiative. “Th rough our vast network of com- munity and corporate partners, Feed the Children continues to work each day to ensure that no child is hungry. Th ere are a variety of ways our community part- ners are delivering food and household essentials including door-to-door home delivery and drive-thru product pick- ups (food, water, hygiene items). Some community partners even have a call-in number to ensure those who are home- bound or quarantined receive the items they need.” says Travis Arnold, CEO and President of Feed the Children. Feed the Children is taking action to ensure communities aren’t forgotten. Eighty percent of their standard domes- tic work involves supplying community partners (such as food pantries and soup kitchens) with the bulk of the items they need to do their daily work. To help Feed the Children in these eﬀ orts by donating cash, visit www. feedthechildren.org. Businesses that can donate product (food, hygiene items, and the like) can call (800) 627-4556.
