Food Insecurity and Our Partnerships
Food Insecurity
Food insecurity is a real condition that can result from hunger. It can be defined in a variety of ways:
- You don’t know where your next meal is coming from
- You don’t know if you have enough food to provide three meals a day for your family
- You don’t have reliable access to enough affordable, nutritious food
- You skip your dinner meal so that your children will have enough to eat
