"It's hard to imagine that almost half of America's families are living with hunger," said Chris McCann, Chief Executive Officer, 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. "New estimates show the number of children facing hunger has nearly doubled since before the pandemic - where now 1 in 4 children could be going hungry. No Kid Hungry has a plan to make sure children are fed, both during this health crisis and beyond. That's why we've teamed up with No Kid Hungry this holiday season - to make sure kids get the meals they need."
