Weekly Hunger Challenge:
Food Deserts
Did you know that there are many places in our community where there are no grocery stores? These are called, "Food Deserts." Food Deserts may have small convenience stores or gas stations that sell packaged, low nutrition foods, but they have few, if any, places to purchase fresh, healthy foods. As a family, see how many grocery stores are located within a 5 minute drive of your home. This may also include places like Target and Wal-mart. Imagine what your daily meals might be like if you did not have a grocery store either near your home or on your way home from work?
