Please note, the USDA National Hunger Hotline number has not changed. Individuals can still call 1-866-3-HUNGRY or 1-877-8-HAMBRE to speak with a representative who will find food resources such as meal sites, food banks, and other nearby social services. The No Kid Hungry Texting Line also moved to a new number. Parents and caregivers should text the word “FOOD” or “COMIDA” to 304-304 to find the nearest meal sites.

If you have any questions give me a call.
