According to Feeding America, an estimated 47 million people face food insecurity.
The USDA defines food insecurity as the lack of consistent access to enough food for an active, healthy life caused by limited financial resources at the household level.
In response to the rise of food insecurity nationwide due to COVID-19, Mercy Chefs has delivered millions of meals through grocery box distribution in Texas, Virginia, Florida, Puerto Rico, Pennsylvania, Oklahoma and many other states.
The impact of these groceries on people’s lives is unparalleled, and we recognize the need to continue expanding our efforts.
In addition to expanding our grocery box distribution through our Send Hope Home program, we’re exploring new ways to support food-insecure communities with job skills training, single-parent cooking classes and budget-friendly recipe creation through our community kitchen outreach programs.
