ABSTRACT

To achieve healthy communities, addressing food insecurity (FI) is critical. This study describes a unique food distribution program combining a mobile Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) for children with a mobile pantry for adults. A survey (n = 153) of participants at six locations in New Haven Connecticut revealed that 36% reported FI and 76% were first-time pantry users. Three- quarters participated in SNAP, WIC, or both, and two-thirds had children who were fed by SFSP. Major federal programs do not eliminate FI, therefore local voluntary organizations are essential partners to address the food crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

帮助我的家人度过艰难时期:康涅狄格州纽黑文的一项创新的夏季食品救济计划

摘要

为了实现健康的社区,解决粮食不安全 (FI) 问题至关重要。这项研究描述了一个独特的食品分发计划,该计划将儿童的移动夏季食品服务计划 (SFSP) 与成人的移动食品储藏室相结合。对康涅狄格州纽黑文六个地点的参与者进行的一项调查(n = 153)显示,36% 的人报告了 FI,76% 的人是首次使用食品储藏室。四分之三的人参加了 SN​​AP、WIC 或两者,三分之二的孩子由 SFSP 喂养。主要的联邦计划并未消除 FI,因此当地的志愿组织是解决由 COVID-19 大流行引起的粮食危机的重要合作伙伴。
