Our Programs
The USDA defines food insecurity as “a lack of consistent access to enough food for an active, healthy life.” We recognize this, and the importance of providing nutritious foods to those who would otherwise go without. Individuals cannot put in the work to get out of poverty if their nutritional needs are not met.
In Nebraska, in 2018, 237,440 individuals were food insecure — 12.3 percent of the state’s population. Nebraska’s children had a food insecurity rate of 16.7 percent, translating into 79,310 children. According to Feeding America, over 40,000 individuals are food-insecure in Lancaster County.
Because talent is distributed equally but opportunity is not.
