Food Insecurity
Everyone deserves access to healthy, fresh, and culturally appropriate food, yet food
insecurity affects individuals and families in our community every day. Expanding
access to nutritious food and building food-related skills are essential steps in
breaking the cycle of poverty and creating a stronger, healthier community.

Without UW funding, we would
not have had the resources to
pay for staff to recruit, train and
support community volunteers
to cook and to engage in other
skill and community building
activities with and for ABTC
residents. This funding ensures
that we have staff to work
alongside
residents
and
volunteers to ensure that
healthy fresh food is prepared
and shared daily for ABTC.
