In Michigan, nearly 12% of people face food insecurity, and many of our community members face barriers to accessing nutritious food. Food insecurity has soared over the past few years, making it more important than ever to create a future where our food system is equitable, sustainable, and equipped to meet southeast Michigan’s needs. At our foundation, we support a number of nonprofit organizations, including Fair Food Network, Gleaners Community Food Bank of Southeastern Michigan, Forgotten Harvest, Capuchin Soup Kitchen, and Make Food Not Waste, who are working to increase food access, destigmatized food insecurity, and provide education and resources so that people throughout our region can thrive.

I live in Arlington, Virginia. It’s a place that's rich in diversity, food, and greenery. It’s also affected by food insecurity, with more than 23,000 people (nearly 10% of the population) not having access to enough food for an active, healthy life. These are just some of the eye-opening facts released this week as part of Feeding America’s Map the Meal Gap Study (https://lnkd.in/ep7JimvB) —an annual, comprehensive view of how food insecurity varies across the U.S. As the only national study to provide county-level estimates of food insecurity and food costs, this study is a powerful tool for all of us to use to better understand hunger in our communities. It shows that food insecurity exists in every county, parish and congressional district in this nation, but it isn’t experienced equally. Food insecurity levels vary across regions, influenced by factors like unemployment and poverty rates as well as policies and practices rooted in history that continue to hold people back today. I encourage you to learn about the impact of hunger in your community. Spark conversations around the systemic factors that drive food insecurity then join the movement to end hunger (https://lnkd.in/enR6y7VC). Help us create a future where we all have access to the food and resources we need to thrive. #EndHunger

In a continuation of efforts to combat food insecurity, Westchester County Executive George Latimer is rallying together with community partners to raise awareness for the invaluable programs and resources available to residents in need. Latimer said: “Too often the struggle against food insecurity is silent. You may feel alone or trapped, but you don’t have to be. Together, we can unveil the strength within Westchester, ensuring that no one faces these challenges in the dark – collectively illuminating a path towards a more resilient future." Under the Latimer administration, the priority for combatting food insecurity in Westchester began in 2018, until formally expanding into the Westchester County Food Security Initiative (FSI) in 2020. This comprehensive initiative brought an increased $5 million in funding, grant access and strategic capacity-building resources for Feeding Westchester and local food pantries at a critical time – serving to address the mounting community needs and logistical obstacles brought on by the immediacy of the pandemic.
