Food insecurity isn’t always obvious. Unexpected expenses or reductions in benefit programs can quickly turn into a crisis for thousands of people in our communities.

Food insecurity is not just a shortage of food – it’s a shortage of stability. People might not be hungry today, but they may have fears of running short by the end of the month.
