SeaShare is pleased to count MAZON as a partner. MAZON works to ensure that hungry people have access to nutritious food today and demands government policies assure no one goes hungry tomorrow.

MAZON recently posted an article about hunger in Alabama and Mississippi which highlights some of unique causes of hunger in those states, and some recent successes in combating hunger.

Here is a snippet: "In Mississippi, the diabetes rates are so high that there is an epidemic of amputations. In Alabama, a local hospital is starting to write prescriptions for food so that children can get the nutrition they sorely need. Mississippi has the highest rate of food insecurity in the country; one in four children in Alabama do not have enough to eat."
