Statistics on Caring Kitchen
Effects of Child Hunger on
      Academic Performance
Cognition and Academics Emotional & Social Well-Being

  • Undernourished children      • Aggressive and anxious.
    0-3 years of age cannot
    learn as much, as fast or    • Teens are more likely to be
    as well.                       suspended from school and
                                   have difficulty getting along
  • Lack of enough nutritious      with other kids.
    food impairs a child’s
    ability to concentrate and
    perform well in school.
The Facts on Literacy
• One in six children who are not reading proficiently in
  third grade do not graduate from high school on time.

• Graduation rates for Black and Hispanic students
  who were not proficient readers in third grade lagged
  far behind those for White students with the same
  reading skills.

• Some argue that prisons are built on 3rd grade
  reading scores.

We are trying to capture pre-k to 3rd grade
with our community service project.
According to the U.S. Department
  Agriculture, the percentage of Alamance
 County residents living in poverty grew to
     15.2 in 2009, as did the number of
  Alamance County residents requesting
               food assistance.
Thus, hunger continues to be a major issue
          within Alamance County.
          2011 Alamance Community Assessment Report
Tucker St. Community


• 50.8% are economically disadvantaged

• 21.6% of children live in poverty

Notas do Editor

  1. Initiative II: Global Poverty“end hunger”“global partners for self-help projects and awareness campaigns within the United States” (local partner)Initiative V: Social Justice and Human Rights Initiative“children in homeless shelters”“training of parents as advocates for educational needs of children”Applying the two aforementioned initiatives to our service project allows us to bridge the gap between the global poverty on a local scale and education.
  2. Video is linked if click on pictureCreated in Jan. 1990How it came to be:The Good Shepherd Kitchen, a soup kitchen in Burlington only served lunch Monday through Friday.Wanted to extend this to the weekend providing individuals with meals every day of the week.Provide a hot lunch to the homeless, low-income, and the shut-ins of the Burlington areaMotto: “More than a Soup KitchenMinistry affiliated with Burlington Assembly of God Church
  3. Just say this is a picture of what services look like at the Caring kitchen or something like that.
  4. THE FACTSFOOD SECURITYAll data refer to the year 2010. They are collected in 2010, and reported in September 2011.48.8 million Americans—including 16.2 million children—lack the means to get enough nutritiousfood on a regular basis. They live in food- insecure households and as a result, they struggle withhunger at some time during the year.Food insecurity—the limited or uncertain availability of nutritionally adequate and safe foodRates of food insecurity are substantially higher than the national average among householdswith incomes near or below the Federal poverty line, among households with children headedby single parents (35.1% of children living in a single-mom household are food-insecure), andamong Black and Hispanic households.POVERTY and UNEMPLOYMENTPoverty and unemployment are the root causes of hunger.· $22,350 in annual income is the poverty threshold for a family of four with two children (2011).· 46.2 million Americans—15.1 percent—live in poverty (2010). This is the largest number ofpeople living in poverty since estimates were first published (1956) and the highest poverty ratesince 1994.· 15.7 million children in America(2010) live in poverty, Over 200,000 more than the year before.
  5. #1 – this is at a rate four times greater than that forproficient readers.The Annie E. Casey Foundation Double Jeopardy: How Third-Grade Reading Skills and Poverty Influence High School GraduationThe study relies on a unique national database of 3,975 students born between 1979 and1989. The children’s parents were surveyed every two years to determine the family’s economicstatus and other factors, while the children’s reading progress was tracked using the Peabody Individual Achievement Test (PIAT) Reading Recognition subtest. The database reports whether students have finished high school by age 19, but does not indicate whether they actually dropped out.
  6. 52.74% of students in the Alamance-Burlington School System received free or reduced lunch during the 2010-2011 school year. The percentage of students included in the program has increased by 12.8% from 46% of district students who qualified during the 2006-2007 school year.
