1 FOOD INSECURITY IN GUILFORD COUNTY AUSTIN SIMONS, DREW PHILLIPS, RICHARD MOORE, AND NICHOLAS TAUBER

2 Food insecurity is a major issue in the World. Especially in Guilford County. According to a 2014 Gallup poll, Guilford County ranked number one in food insecurities. In 2013, 23.3% of children in Guilford County lived in food insecure homes. According to the US Department of Agriculture, 24 census tracts in Guilford County are labeled as food deserts.

3 . Reasons for this food insecurity are very abundant. One reason is due to the loss of furniture and manufacturing jobs in the area

4 RESPONSE TO THE ISSUE In our group, we are going to do a food drive. By December 1 st, we aim to collect at least 100 cans, and distribute them to Grimsley’s food pantry.
