Right now, millions of Americans across the country live at risk of hunger, but do you know what the face of hunger looks like in your community?

People struggling with hunger are hard-working adults, families and seniors who often simply cannot make ends meet.

At Feeding America, our mission is to feed America's hungry through a nationwide network of member food banks and engage our country in the fight to end hunger. But in order to address the problem of hunger, we must first understand it.

The Feeding America Map the Meal Gap project is working to do just that. The interactive map explores the issues of hunger at the local community level so you can see for yourself that hunger, and the children, seniors and hard-working adults it affects, are closer to you than you think.

For today's Daily Action, map the meal gap in your county, and learn more about the people struggling with hunger in your community and the food banks that serve them.
