## Resource

Texas is facing a worsening hunger crisis, with nearly 1.4 million people—including 450,000 kids—struggling to eat, despite a 7% population increase. Hunger jumped 24% in just four years, outpacing growth and hitting families like Adwoa Kofie’s hard after she lost her job. Food pantries are now lifelines, helping her and others bridge the gap when supplies run low, proving this isn’t just numbers—it’s real, daily survival for thousands.
