Overview

https://map.feedingamerica.org/Every community in the country is home to people who struggle with hunger. Since federal nutrition programs don’t reach everyone in need, food banks help fill the gap. Learn more about local food insecurity by exploring data from Feeding America’s annual Map the Meal Gap study. When we better understand hunger, we can help end hunger.What is food insecurity and what does it look like in America?Food insecurity refers to USDA’s measure of lack of access, at times, to enough food for an active, healthy life for all household members and limited or uncertain availability of nutritionally adequate foods. Food-insecure households are not necessarily food insecure all the time. Food insecurity may reflect a household’s need to make trade-offs between important basic needs, such as housing or medical bills, and purchasing nutritionally adequate foods.Thumbnail: https://www.independent.com/2017/02/24/welcome-department-food-security/Splash screen Image: https://i.shgcdn.com/cbe4de4a-0927-4fd9-b3bd-5df086a72ec2/-/format/auto/-/preview/3000x3000/-/quality/lighter/Gundersen, C., A.
