HOUSTON – One in four children in Texas is food insecure, and that number is rising due to the lack of resources since the pandemic. A local research and advocacy nonprofit called Children at Risk is helping solve this complex issue.
“With the pandemic, you have a lot of trauma mental health-wise. I think the idea is that we want to make sure we give support to those groups that are working. The state may not be giving the financial support but there are alot of ways that we can support these groups so that they can help kids. It is short-sided for us not to think about kids and what that future means. For us it is like how do we do this round of applause for everybody,” said Dr. Bob Sanborn, CEO of Children at Risk.
