A lot of college students are #FoodInsecure. For example at the university I taught until retirement 1 out of 4 students are Food Insecure. Please consider giving any amount you can to university based food pantries. They know how to stretch a dollar.
Apparently taco John's is giving free meals to anyone who needs it, ask for the community special.
The #Agriculture Dept report, Household #FoodSecurity in the #UnitedStates, quantifies the share of households considered “#FoodInsecure” & “very low food secure,” a subset with a more severe designation of need that applied to 5.1% of households in 2023. It analyzes those categories by #state, #race & #ethnicity. Rates are much higher among #Black & #Latino households than among #white households.

The department’s report has been published every year for 3 decades, & grew in part out of battles in the 1980s over President Ronald Reagan’s statements disputing that the #US had a #hunger problem.
The most recent report found that in 2023, 13.5% of households, w/ 47M people, were #FoodInsecure, meaning that during some portion of the year, not every member of household had access to enough #food for a healthy lifestyle.
