Zero Hunger According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, at times during the year, over 13.5 million households in the United States were uncertain of having, or unable to acquire, enough food to meet the needs of all their members, because they had insufficient money or other resources for food. Within that group, over 5.1 million were hungry to the extent that normal eating patterns of one or more household members were significantly disrupted sometime during the year. Fighting hunger is a mission where we all can win. 13.5 U.S. Households facing food insecurity Annual Food Drive* 20 0 Tons of food donated 408 0 Turkeys donated Formosa’s NJ headquarters holds an Annual Food Drive, resulting in donations of nearly 20 tons of food and almost 500 turkeys yearly to the Community FoodBank of New Jersey (CFBNJ).
