We are working collectively to help people build financial security and address issues such as housing helps to address the root causes of hunger. Our communities have resources that can help people avoid difficult tradeoffs between necessities like food and medicine. We can leverage the work of existing organizations, as well as identify innovative solutions to help more people –including children and seniors‐ with food security. Adequate and nutritious foods strengthen health. Making intentional connections between systems and partners enhances our ability to affect change.
