Food security

Food security exists when all people at all times have physical and economic access to adequate amounts of nutritious, safe, and culturally appropriate food to maintain a healthy and active life.

There are many reasons why it may be hard to eat vegetables and fruits, including cost and accessibility. Some people do not have access to grocery stores in their communities, or cannot afford these foods. Remember that fresh, frozen and canned vegetables and fruits are all good options.

If you need support to access food or information on local food programs in your community, please call or visit 211.
