At this time, I am reminded of many people who do not have healthy food on their tables. The news this week has highlighted many folks around the country - including Pennsylvania - waiting in long lines for food to feed their families. The pandemic and the resulting rise in unemployment have contributed to the rise in food insecurity - right in our own backyard.
For this week’s newsletter, I am reposting part of my blog from this past June about Food Insecurity. Near the end of the post, there are five specific actions we can take to help. During this holiday season, join me in supporting organizations such as Feeding America, the Chester County Food Bank, the Media Food Bank, Philabundance, and many other local food banks and pantries.
From the Inspire Wellness and Nutrition newsletter, June 2020:
When we read and talk about nutrition, we not only focus on what is best for our own body and health but also on how healthy food and the lack of it affects others.
