HAYS COUNTY – One in four Texas children face hunger, meaning that they can't always receive nutritious meals at home and arrive at school with an empty stomach.

Those children also live in a food-insecure household and for many, the breakfast and lunch served at school are sometimes the only consistent food they receive on a daily basis. School districts and statewide organizations are working to combat this by providing resources that will help students succeed.
