NEED EVERY DAY.
CAN YOU TOUCH ON WHAT IT IS LIKE

FOOD THEY NEED DAY-TO-DAY?
>> ONE OUT OF FIVE LOUISIANA
AND'S ARE AT RISK -- LOUISIANANS
ARE AT RISK OF HUNGER, AND FOR
CHILDREN IT IS EVEN HIGHER AT

DURING THE SUMMER, A LOT OF THEM

SOLUTION, BECAUSE WE HAVE SO
MUCH GOOD FOOD IN THIS COUNTRY.
THAT IS WHERE SECOND HARVEST
