48 Million Americans are Food Insecure

That means roughly 1 of every 6 people live in fear of not knowing where their next meal is going to come from. Food insecure households often do not have access to enough food in order to live a healthy life.  It could be your neighbor, your co-worker, your family, or it could be you.  There is no reason that this needs to be the case and together we can create solutions to end the problem of hunger and food insecurity in America.
