Food Security
What is food security?
Food security is a federal measure of a household’s ability to provide enough food for every person in the household to have an active, healthy life.
I work with a DC-based organization called Families4Families, which brings together young leaders to promote food security by collecting groceries and other essentials for families in need! To date, families4families has made over 700,000 meals with the help of over 3,000 volunteers nationwide.

Why is food security important?
Food security provides the foundation for other needs, both physical and psychological. The diagram below outlines how the fulfillment of dietary needs can contribute to a sense of belonging, a higher self esteem, and self-actualization.
