Hunger in Kentucky700,000 Kentuckians − 1 in 6 − are food insecure.This means they do not always know where their next meal will come from.

Food bank clients report having to choose between paying for food and paying

for utilities (67%) and medical care (69%).

91% of food bank clients purchased inexpensive but unhealthy food as a coping

strategy to put food on the table.

77% of Kentuckians believe that hunger in Kentucky is a serious problem.

value of food available to feed hungry people in

Kentucky.

public policy and legislative solutions to hunger.
