There are 41,000 children in Travis County confronted with food insecurity every day.
The average American consumes 1,950 pounds of food a year.
Mulitplying those gives us 79,950,000 pounds of food required for those 41,000 children.
A brown paper grocery bag can hold about 20 pounds of food. So that would be 3,997,500 paper grocery bags full of food.
The most recent estimate of Travis County’s population is 998,543, with 141,223 living in poverty. That means there are about 857,320 people in Travis County who are not (by the Federal Government’s definition) living in poverty.
If, over the course of a year, each one of those people filled 5 brown paper grocery bags full of food they would provide enough food to feed those 41,000 children.
