People experience food insecurity in every community.
Food insecurity affects millions across the U.S. and some groups face heightened challenges due to unfair systems that limit opportunities and prevent people from reaching their full potential.
In 2023 alone, more than 50 million people turned to food assistance for extra help.
Food banks, food pantries and community organizations unite to help millions of people access affordable, nutritious food for themselves and their families.

Food insecurity happens to people of all races and ethnicities. However, it is more common for people of color because of historic and ongoing discrimination, along with unfair systems in policies and institutions.
