What is Food Insecurity? That is wondering where and how you were going to find enough food for your next meal. Having gone to bed hungry at night, because what you ate for dinner was not enough to hold you over. Relying on FREE meals at school or in the community as a way to eat once each day with small snacks to hold you over in between meals.
