What is food insecurity? The answer depends upon where you are and who you ask. It has different meanings in different communities. So instead, our question should be: what does food insecurity mean to you? From there, we can tailor our approaches and solutions accordingly to ensure our neighbors have access to the food they need. There’s no one-size-fits-all answer to what food insecurity looks like and means in our communities, and as such, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. Every day, United Way works alongside those seeking to dismantle barriers to healthy food and create a #NourishingCommunity for all.
