Facing increased unemployment and isolation as a result of COVID-19, millions more Americans are facing "food insecurity," which means their household cannot provide enough food for every person to live an active, healthy life. This issue is especially impacting Black, Latinx, Indigenous, and immigrant households, who are at least twice as likely as white adults to report that their households did not get enough to eat.
Solution
Local food banks and meal providers need donations now more than ever to continue supporting our communities as we overcome this crisis together.
