6.1 million children in the U.S. are food insecure

Food insecurity is inadequate access to nutritious food.

23 million Americans live in Food Deserts

A food desert is an area that has limited access to affordable and nutritious food & is more than a mile from a grocery store. Families in food deserts have higher rates of disease due to an abundance of processed food and a lack of fresh options.
