Food Insecurity and Hunger in Ohio
Ohio 3rd worst state in nation for ‘food insecurity’
“…families forced to skip meals or eat less because they didn’t have the money to put food on their table”
~16% of Ohio families were below Federal Poverty Level
14% of Ohio residents received SNAP (~$124) in 2/16
Most of us always know where our next meal is coming from, but more than 2 million people in Ohio don't.
National rate at 5.6
OH population is about 12 million
