Food security is a social determinant of health and plays a critical role in a person’s ability to stay healthy. Individuals who lack constant access to sufficient nutritious food may risk developing chronic diseases like obesity, hypertension, and diabetes. Food insecurity can also make the management of chronic diseases and other health conditions more challenging.
Community Feeding
The American family today is more economically vulnerable than it has been in decades, with high prices of food and groceries. Based on the National Center for Health Statistics findings, about 40 million people in the US lack adequate access to healthy food. About 1 in 6 US households have struggled with hunger in the past year, and more than 2 million children experience hunger. Additionally, when low-income families do not have enough money to purchase the food needed for their household, they often skip meals, which leads to low nutrition intake.
Do you want to help? All it takes is $5 to feed a hungry person for one day in the US. That’s the reality for thousands of Americans who need a boost to their food security. You can do something about it with your meal. By donating $5 from your next coffee or lunch order, we can help feed more Americans who struggle to eat well.
Eat Well
The Eyeround Food Foundation is committed to addressing the hunger crisis by providing the best information on healthy foods and educating poor Americans on nutrition and how to stay healthy. We provide information on the best food choices for health and wellness, popular diets, cooking nutritious meals with limited resources, and practical tips for cooking with kids.
Did you know that 1 in 6 Americans struggles with hunger? One of our EATWELL main goals is to educate people about why they face a hunger crisis while also providing them with opportunities to get healthy food. We work with individuals to provide education and necessary information on nutrition to those struggling in the United States. We also have a variety of recipes that would be great for any time of the year.
We believe that no one should go hungry and that all people deserve to eat well and be healthy, living a productive life. You can help address hunger by donating to the Eyeround Foundation and providing a healthy meal for a child in need.
Zero Hunger Advocacy
Our zero-hunger campaign creates awareness and fights child and household hunger in America – the most pressing problems of our time.
This year, we have focused our efforts on eating habits among children and women, the necessity for Americans to stay healthy, ultimately supporting our goal of ending child, women, and households’ hunger and disorder. Our programs are having measurable success in their targeted communities – helping children get healthier food, educating families about nutritional choices, and building communities around healthy eating habits.
