Food insecurity is a crisis affecting a disproportionate percentage of our population. The Rio Grande Valley is one of the poorest places in the U.S. The community safety net isn't large enough or strong enough to support all of those who are suffering from food insecurity stemming from escalating food costs and shortages at the local food bank. We are working with local pantries, shelters and soup kitchens to ensure they have meals and emergency food bags for distribution.
Food shortages and raging inflation have caused widespread food insecurity in the Rio Grande Valley, and because we are one of the poorest places in the country people do not have savings to fall back on. This year we are once again ramping up food distributions to get hard-to-afford fresh produce and pantry staples to our most vulnerable neighbors.
United Against Hunger brings together organizations working to ensure families have the food they need to combat hunger. Together we are more efficient and more effective. We unite to seek funding and to make decisions about how best to use that funding. We are stronger united.
While we hope that the economy will improve, in the meanwhile we are getting food for the people who need it most. We are working together to ensure our community's food pantry system is equitable, efficient and meets the changing needs of our community.
