Valley Presbyterian Church week of November 10, 2019
Invitation to Reconsider The Invitation to Rethink Values and Attitudes HUNGER IN AMERICA: BY THE NUMBERS Millions of American households experienced food insecurity last year, meaning they did not have consistent access to food. One in seven American households is food insecure. In 2013, 14.3 percent of Americans – that’s 49 million people, including 15.7 million children – had difficulty providing enough food for their families. About 23.5 million Americans live in food deserts. More than half are low-income. Food deserts are geographic areas where access to affordable, healthy food is limited or nonexistent because grocery stores aren’t within a convenient traveling distance. 69% of food-insecure households report having to choose between food and utilities. 66% of food-insecure households have had to choose between food and medical care.
