With the holiday season upon the United States, food donations are garnering more attention. But for the 49 million Americans who lived without enough food in 2012, hunger is not just a seasonal struggle. It is also compounded by economic downturns, natural disasters and complex climates.
According to the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP), there is enough food in the world today to feed the planet's population. Yet across the globe, 842 million people do not have enough to eat, which results in the deaths of 3.1 million children under the age of five each year.
