What is food insecurity?

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) defines food insecurity as a lack of consistent access to enough food for an active, healthy life.[2] It is important to know that though hunger and food insecurity are closely related, they are distinct concepts. Hunger refers to a personal, physical sensation of discomfort, while food insecurity refers to a lack of available financial resources for food at the household level.

Are you closed on holidays?

We are closed on New Year’s Day, Easter, Memorial Day, the Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day.

Who is hungry?

Over 50 million people in the United States live in hungry and food-insecure households. More than 16 million of those are children.

One in six Americans does not have enough food to eat and requires emergency food assistance.

One in five suburban households face food insecurity.

Women in food-insecure households frequently are at the greatest risk, depriving themselves of nutritionally adequate foods to make those foods available to their children and husbands.

One in five children is born into food-insecure households.
