Food Insecurity in Children: A Silent Crisis
Partner Highlight Series: Feeding Kannapolis Hunger
At Families First, we’re fortunate to have incredible partners like Feeding Kannapolis Hunger, making an impact in the fight against food insecurity. Led by Jim, this amazing organization goes above and beyond to bring fresh, nutritious food to our community.
During the gleaning season, Jim delivers 10-20 boxes (each 25 lbs!) of fresh produce directly to us, enabling us to provide healthy food to families we serve through ParentChild+. In the off-season, our collaboration continues as we work together to secure grants and food vouchers so families can access fresh foods year-round.
Why it Matters: Food insecurity in young children is more common than many realize. By partnering with Feeding Kannapolis Hunger, we’re helping to bridge this gap, ensuring that children and families have the nourishment they need to thrive.
Get Involved: Feeding Kannapolis Hunger hosts food drives and other community initiatives. Discover how you can support their mission and help feed local families: https://feedingkannapolishunger.org
