Feeding health in Central Florida

One in seven Central Floridians lives with food insecurity. One in ten Central Floridians has been diagnosed with three or more different chronic health conditions. Those two facts aren’t a coincidence.
Central Florida is chronically ill in part because people aren’t getting the nutrition they need to be healthy. When you don’t have stable access to food, you’re at a much higher risk of developing diseases like hypertension (impacting 1 in 3 Floridians), diabetes (impacting 1 in 10 Floridians), and heart disease (impacting 1.4 million Floridians, and the leading cause of death in the state).
