According to the "Map the Meal Gap" study released by the Kansas Food Bank and Feeding America, 14.3 percent of Kansans--nearly 400,000 people--suffered from "food insecurity". The rate for children in Kansas is even higher--22.6 percent, or about 158,000 children. Of these, the study estimates that approximately 40% do not qualify for federal food aid, because their families make more than the allowable 185% above the poverty level.
