Hunger happens to everyday people, every day.
Look around you. There’s a good chance someone you see each day is hungry. Polk County is the second highest county in the United States for food insecurity (not enough money to buy food), and many residents lack consistent and easy access to safe, nutritionally adequate food. And the problem isn’t limited only to the homeless. Many who struggle to find adequate food are working adults, children and the elderly.

Every family in Polk County will have adequate nutrition, every day.
