Summary/Abstract: The growing problem of malnutrition has been observed in Poland for many years. This has been a growing problem in Poland. This phenomenon has been more widely observed together with progressive economic system transformation processes. Currently, about 2 million people live in extreme poverty, and 5 million are struggling with difficult living conditions. Economic poverty risk more often affects young people including children, than the elderly. There were 162 thousand of students covered by meals, i.e. 7,4% of all, 11% of children in need received no feeding, because of shortages of funds. The aim of the paper is to present a government program for feeding the population, including children and young people in Poland as well as present the results of this assistance. The article will use data of the Ministry of Labour and Social Policy on outreach programs, as well as data obtained from publications of the CSO.
