RALEIGH -- Food insecurity remains a problem throughout our state, but several organizations are working to put an end to it. 

• North Carolina first lady Kristin Cooper made stops at Advance Community Health as well as a handful of other feeding sites
• These sites provide meals for children who may not get the food they would normally get when school is in session
• One in five children face hunger in North Carolina on a regular basis

North Carolina first lady Kristin Cooper made stops at Advance Community Health as well as a handful of other feeding sites in the Triangle on Wednesday.

These sites provide meals for children who may not get the food they would normally get when school is in session. 

"These kids eat a lot," said parent Sylvia Watkins. "So that meal helps. We get up. We eat breakfast and then, as soon as you turn around, they are ready for lunch. "

The Interfaith Food Shuttle reports one in five children face hunger in North Carolina on a regular basis.
