TORRINGTON — According to the NoKidHungry.org website, one in six children in the United States lives with hunger, and Angela Wood wanted to do something about that glaring statistic.
A truck driver, Wood saw kids sleeping on the streets and going hungry while she traveled through cities, and that’s when she decided she wanted to make a difference. But she wasn’t sure how.
