Food insecurity doesn't always look the way people expect.

For Cheryl, it means balancing the care of her autistic daughter, her senior mother and her own health while trying to make disability benefits stretch far enough to cover rising food costs.

Thanks to Grace Resources, a partner agency of the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank, Cheryl can bring home fresh, nutritious food that supports her family's health and well-being.

"Places like food pantries are so pivotal to communities that are underfunded and underdeveloped. It brings a sense of community and awareness of hunger," Cheryl shares.

Read Cheryl's story and learn how support for the Food Bank and its partner agencies helps families throughout Los Angeles County.

Thank you, Starbucks, for helping reduce food waste and increase access to nutritious food for our neighbors.
