Hunger vs. Food Insecurity


E Food insecurity is usually episodic and often cyclical. People may require assistance a single time, for a few months, or on a more regular basis.
E There is no one face of food insecurity. The need varies among children, older adults, people with disabilities, veterans, the working poor, and others, as does the best way of reaching them.
E Making tradeoff decisions between paying for food and other basic needs such as medical bills and housing is common among individuals and families who turn to FIND for food.
E Many food insecure households do not qualify for federal nutrition assistance programs such as SNAP (formerly food stamps).
