Well said The Florida Times-Union! There are so many details on why food insecurity isn’t an easy to solve issue and why there is a whole industry of nonprofits addressing basic needs and wrap around services. If you want to learn more or discuss where you see gaps in resources, reach out to us anytime and we can give you a tour and share what we have witnessed and learned since the ‘60s!
