A study by the Annie E. Casey Foundation found that 1 in 5 (14.7 million) children live in poverty in the United States. That represents a 2.5 million increase from 2000, when 17 percent of the nation’s youth lived in low-income homes. You can provide support for children in the U.S through Children, Incorporated. We have programs in 12 states around the country and provide food, clothing, education and opportunity for children in need.
