Food Bank For New York City, the city’s major hunger relief organization, issued a report on Wednesday which paints a stark picture of hunger across the five boroughs. The study shows that East Brooklyn has more residents skipping meals because they can’t afford to pay for food than any other borough -- 88 million meals were missed in the borough in 2012, the period studied. TaylorAde Kids Club host a Summer Annual Lemonade Stand which promotes healthy eating in the community and raises funds for different TaylorAde Kids Club initiatives and projects. TaylorAde Kids Club will study and research about the Hunger Action Network, East New York Farms as well as other relevant organizations and clubs who are passionate and dedicated to end hunger and promote food justice.
