Food Assistance and Security

From local food banks to national charities, a wide range of resources are available to support individuals and families facing food insecurity.

According to the USDA, 13.5% of U.S. households experienced food-insecurity in 2023. 

Food Assistance and Security

You can make a difference by donating food, organizing a food drive, delivering meals to seniors, granting to a charity, or volunteering at a community food program.

Across the country, numerous emergency food relief organizations, feeding agencies, and meal centers are working tirelessly to ensure that everyone has access to the nutritious food they need.

Let’s make a positive impact together.
