FOCUS ON FOOD INSECURITY IN OUR COMMUNITY

Literally thousands of our friends and neighbors are food insecure. Washington County’s population is approximately 135,000. 

·   Food insecure rate for 2019= 6.3% of general population; 10% of kids

·   Food insecure estimated rate currently for 2021= 7.3% of general population, 11.5 % of kids

Join us on Wednesday, June 23 to learn about the food insecurity in Washington County.

Zoom with us at by RSVPing to washctywidems@gmail.com we will send you the link.

Another great way to help is by volunteering for a 2 hour shift on Saturdays packing and distributing fresh vegetables to families at Casa Guadalupe’s Vegetable Pick Up program. Fresh veggies are donated and then sorted and given to qualifying families. Contact Deb or Gretchen today and select a date that’s open from July till till the end  of October. *If you are able to deliver a couple boxes of vegetables for those unable to attend pick up please indicate that.
