June is Pride Month, a time to celebrate diversity in the communities we live and serve in and recommit ourselves to the fight for LGBTQ+ equality. Despite recent strides, studies show that the LGBTQ+ community is more than twice as likely to experience food insecurity than non-LGBTQ+ adults. We recently read a quote from […]

It’s Mental Health Awareness Month, and we believe it’s important to acknowledge the connection between mental health and food insecurity.
