> Hunger is a significant but solvable problem, both in the United States and internationally, but it requires leadership and a commitment from our president and Congress. One out of every seven U.S. households – more than 48 million Americans – struggles to put food on the table. These numbers include 5.4 million seniors and 15 million children. Around the world, 795 million people experience hunger every day.
>  
> Following the official launch of VTEH, representatives will hold a press conference to answer questions and provide more information about the campaign.
