What Is Food Insecurity and how does it impact Texas?
Texas has one of the highest rates of food insecurity in the United States. According to the USDA, approximately 13.9% of Texas households were food insecure in 2020, compared to the national average of 10.5%.
Impact on Children: Food insecurity is particularly severe among children. Feeding Texas reports that 1 in 5 children in Texas face hunger, which can affect their physical health, academic performance, and overall development.
Rural vs. Urban Areas: Food insecurity is not confined to urban areas. Many rural communities in Texas also face significant challenges due to limited access to grocery stores and higher rates of poverty.
Food banks play a crucial role in addressing food insecurity in Texas. Organizations like the North Texas Food Bank and the Central Texas Food Bank distribute millions of meals each year.
