About National Feed America Day
Civil Rights , United States
Ends: Nov 17, 2021
DESCRIPTION:
Not many would think that the United States has a problem with hunger, but numbers and data tell a different story. Food insecurity exists in every county, including the richest country in the world, The United States. Food Insecurity is not just about getting enough food. It is also about access to nutritious food. Often poorer areas have access to fast food and low nutrition, inexpensive foods, but little access to fresh fruits and vegetables.
Overall food insecurity ranges from a low of 4 percent of the population in Loudoun County, Virginia up to 38 percent in Jefferson County, Mississippi. Los Angeles County, California has the highest number of food-insecure individuals, 1.4 million from a population of 10.1 million .
In virtually all 3,142 US counties, there are at least some food-insecure individuals whose level of income prevents them from qualifying for federal nutrition assistance. See this interactive map to explore food insecurity by country: http://map.feedingamerica.org
In 115 counties, including such populous ones as Collin County, TX and Montgomery County, PA, a majority of food-insecure individuals are likely ineligible for such assistance.
This Feed America Day focuses the needs of Americans that may not have the ability to enjoy the holiday season commencing in the following week. Its an opportunity to increase the stocks of food banks and involve the entire nation in supporting the most vulnerable members of society.
