In NYC today 1.3 million New Yorkers have to and need to rely on food pantries and soup kitchens. In NYC 400,000 people are pained from moderate or severe hunger -118,000 of them are children. We as a group want to help stop hunger, or at least cut down on the number of those starving in NYC. For this we go volunteer at soup kitchens, and food pantries to help around- us a group of 4 8th grade kids on a quest for our social justice project, with a theme of ‘choosing to participate’. We, being the hunger group of class, are trying to help stop hunger as much as possible.
