The Empty Fridge ProjectThe Empty Fridge Project is an idea directed towards helping prevent the growth of child-hood hunger in the United States. As of 2010,16.7 million children lived in food insecurehomes. Over 20% of the child population in 36 states live in food insecure homes. ChangeMUST happen. The objective of The Empty FridgeProject is to place hundreds of empty fridges in U.S. cities across the country to raiseawareness and funds for childhood hunger. Information on the statistics of childhoodhunger as well as insturctions on how to donate will be provided at the empty fridge sites. Procedes will then go to communities whoneed funding and instruction on setting up their own local food programs. Focus will be mainly upon rural communities. This is due tothe lack of ability or knowledge on how to setup programs targeted toward children. While certain government programs exist, such as freeand reduced lunches, they are not enough toend the hunger and hurt. Children spend only 17% of their lives from the age of 5-18 in school.
