THE ISSUE

One in four Californians currently faces food insecurity. According to the most recent Census Household Pulse Survey, 1 in 4 California households is food insecure, with even higher rates among Latinx and Black households with children. Nearly 1 million Californians, both urban and rural, live in food deserts and spend an inordinate amount of time and money simply trying to find healthful food for their families. It is often food banks that provide relief for these families.
