boy_with_tomatoes_medium.jpgWhile many Latino families in the United States are cooking up huge holiday meals, a staggering number of Latinos are going hungry.According to the National Council of la Raza 5% of Latinos in the U.S. are hungry and one out of 5 or 20% do not have access to nutritious food.
