FOOD SECURITY AND NUTRITION

A person is food insecure when they lack regular access to enough food, and nutrition for normal growth and development. This may be due to unavailability of food and/or lack of resources to obtain food. Hunger affects all sorts of people. Many people are just one job loss or medical emergency short of not being able to put food on the table.

Children who go hungry are at more risk of repeating grades in school, experiencing developmental impairments in areas like language and motor skills and more likely to have behavioral and social problems.

We know that every day, many of our neighbors don’t get the food they need to live healthy lives.
