When money gets tight, food is one of the first things families tend to cut, because you can stretch groceries in a way you can't stretch rent. That's how a hard summer can quietly turn into a housing crisis. In today's blog post, we talk about children and the connection between hunger and unhoused, as well as share local resources to keep families fed.

In addition, La Porte County already has free summer meals for any kid 18 and under. No paperwork, no registration. To find a site near you, text "Summer Meals" to 914-342-7744 or visit fns.usda.gov/summer/sitefinder

Know a family who could use this? Share it. Let's make sure no kid goes hungry this summer!

Ask yourself, what does eating look like without a kitchen, without a fridge, without a way to cook? This basic question kicks off our series about food insecurity and being unhoused.

Join us for a month-long series on the connection between food insecurity and being unhoused as we take a deep dive into this topic on the Nest blog.
