World Hunger Day is a reminder that food insecurity isn’t a distant issue, it’s happening right here in Rhode Island. In the last 12 months, 44% of households in our state experienced food insecurity.

That means nearly half of our neighbors, coworkers, friends, and families have faced uncertainty about where their next meal would come from.

Food insecurity is not just about hunger. It’s about stability, health, and opportunity. Supporting local food programs, reducing waste, and strengthening community resources all play a role in making sure everyone in Rhode Island has access.
