EDITORIAL: Help feed hungry children

To say 2020 has been a tough year truly is an understatement.
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused so many issues, but it’s also made some issues that have been around for years that much worse. One of those issues is children in our community who are chronically hungry.
Sadly, for some children, the only meal they might receive during a day is at school. According to Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma, 1 in 4 Oklahoma children lives in a household facing food insecurity.
That’s something everyone can help to prevent.
The Enid News & Eagle again is offering its Community Christmas Card, which will be published in the Christmas Day edition of the newspaper. Proceeds from the card go toward the Food for Kids backpack program. Through the backpack program, Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma provides children with kid-friendly, non-perishable and nutritious food on Fridays throughout the school year to sustain them over weekends and school holidays.
