About Hunger

 

Over 11.8% of Virginians struggle with food insecurity, meaning they do not have the ability to acquire

nutritionally adequate and safe foods in socially acceptable ways. This translates to over 912,790 Virginians being

forced to choose between providing food for their families or paying their rent or mortgage, paying for

transportation, or paying for medical bills. These tough choices are being made everyday across the state.
