The number of children in need living in the Louisiana area continues to rise as economic distress plagues the state. Shreveport in particular has a 25% poverty rate. This unfortunately leaves countless kids without access to essentials, let alone the privilege of getting toys on Christmas.

Donating to a child in need is one of the best things you can do this holiday season. Before making your contribution, consider these facts about poverty in Louisiana:

Louisiana has a 19.75 poverty rate-making it the second-highest in the nation
17.3% of children do not have access to a consistent food supply
Nearly 30% of all children living in Louisiana live in poverty
