Ending Child Poverty/Hunger in Sacramento

Problem		Solution
According to the River City Food Bank, one out of four children are living with food insecurity. Having a young generation living in poverty will only damage their prospects. Children are the future entrepreneurs, inventors, and businesspeople. If the issue of child hunger can be alleviated even slightly, it will do wonders for the future generation of Sacramento, and the Unites States as a whole. This problem can be detrimental for both the local business in the larger Sacramento area as well as the families of those children most in need. Giving businesses an ethical solution for their waste is a great way to uplift the community.		Giving local businesses incentives to provide much needed resources as well as physical facilities can benefit the kids in need as well as the local community as a whole. This would mainly be accomplished by grassroots organizing or by passing legislation containing incentives.
