We offer healthy food to those at risk of hunger via food banks/pantries, afterschool and summer programs, child and adult daycare centers, group dining settings, home delivery and more.
An estimated
17 million households (12.8%) in the U.S experienced
food insecurity in the past year, with limited or uncertain access to
nutrition. That's about
44 million people — including 7.3 million children —
facing hunger today
To those already on the margins, high grocery and transportation costs
create even more need for free food services just to get by.
