Emergency Food Assistance
Once a quarter we provide families (seniors and those with children) an opportunity to receive an emergency food bag/box.
The USDA defines food insecurity as a household's limited or uncertain ability to acquire safe, nutritionally adequate foods which may be caused by a variety of factors, including:
- Job Loss
- Medical Emergency
- Natural Disaster
- Family Crisis
- Reduction of SNAP Benefits
- Inflation
- Poverty
- Systematic Discrimination
Yes, food insecurity affects people around the world, including the United States where 47 million, including 14 million children, experience it annually. Food insecurity rates are higher for certain groups, including Black and Hispanics/Latinos, single-parent households, and those with incomes below the poverty line. Rates are generally higher in rural areas than in urban or suburban areas.
People to People Ministries (PPM), is committed to helping families facing food insecurity with emergency food assistance. It takes all of us working together to help our neighbors, one meal at a time.
Once a quarter PPM will provide families (seniors and those with children) an opportunity to receive an emergency healthy food bag/box containing 3-5 days of food. In addition, food will be delivered to some local schools for supplement hunger needs of students/children.
