While the Texas economy is booming, it is not without pitfalls. 1 in 7 Texans, out of 4 million experience food insecurity. Children, seniors, veterans, people with disabilities, and working families are among those affected in every Texas county.
Hunger is primarily a symptom of economic insecurity. A household income that cannot keep pace with the cost of living combined with unexpected expenses like a car accident or medical emergency can force families to make impossible choices between food and other basic needs.
Research tells us that food insecurity and health issues often go together. For that reason, our nutrition services team works to ensure that Sisters 4 Hope’s feeding takes the nutritional needs of our hungry neighbors into account. In addition to providing access to nutritious foods, Sisters 4 Hope Foundation also works to teach families, seniors, and children about eating nutritiously on a budget, and partners with community gardens to gain more access to fresh, locally grown produce.
