FAST FACTS: |
| |
|
|
| |
- |
Hungry Children suffer from 2 to
4 times as many individual
health problems than their peers
who are not suffering from
hunger. |
| |
- |
Texas ranks in the top four
states with the highest rate of
food insecure children. |
| |
- |
Studies have shown that children
from households with
insufficient food have poorer
test scores. |
Sadly, Texas holds the HIGHEST rate
of CHILD hunger in the U.S. In many
communities, the most basic needs
may go unmet, and access to proper
nutrition and the extras that
comprise a well rounded quality
education are often limited.
Operation Advantage was founded by
Carla Lacy in 2010 to directly
affect this epidemic.
We partner with non-profit and
community based organizations ,
multi-family housing communities and
area businesses to educate the mind
and strengthen the body through
nutrition & exercise programs,
afterschool programs, foreign
language education, and other
teaching initiatives.
We are currently planning a 5K and
Kid's K to raise money for our
Summer Smart Starts Program and Food
Panty. If you are or know someone
who may be interested in a
Sponsorship or Partnership
opportunity, please have them
contact Carla Lacy directly.
If you would like to see if your
location qualifies to become a Smart
Starts location, please contact our
Executive Director to schedule a
evaluation visit.
