Hunger in Central Florida
The Face of Hunger is Evolving.
Hunger affects people in every county and ZIP Code across the United States, including Central Florida. It impacts men, women and children of all races, ethnicities and economic backgrounds. Hunger is the result of any number of root causes, including lack of affordable housing, educational opportunities or working a low-wage job.
Map the Meal Gap, an annual study conducted by Feeding America provides local estimates of food insecurity and food costs for every county and congressional district in the United States.
The latest report reveals that:
- 1 in 7 individuals in Central Florida are facing hunger
- 1 in 6 kids live in households that are food insecure
