The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) defines food insecurity as a lack of consistent access to enough food for an active, healthy life.
According to Feeding America:
- In 2021, 17,600 Sumner County residents (9.1%) experienced food insecurity.
- 57% of those who faced food insecurity in Sumner county in 2021 were "estimated to be above the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) threshold" which means they made more than 130% of the Federal Poverty Level and did not qualify for public assistance to feed their families. (At United Way, we know them as ALICE.)
- "In 2022, 49 million people turned to food banks and community programs for help putting food on the table."
