October is Health Literacy month. Studies have shown again and again that food security and health outcomes are closely correlated. As food equity advocates, it is important that we take the opportunity to learn more about this key aspect of the fight against hunger.

Building a community without hunger in Chatham County.
关于我们
CORA is a nonprofit organization that serves residents facing food insecurity in Chatham County, North Carolina. Our ultimate goal at CORA is to build a community without hunger by collecting and purchasing healthy food for distribution through our food pantry, related programs, and network of local partners. CORA envisions a community without hunger. A healthy, strong, and connected community where all people have equitable access to abundant, safe, nutritious, and culturally relevant food. Through our work, we will help build a healthy Chatham County, a place where families thrive, children do well in school, and seniors do not face the stress of choosing between food and other necessities.

Many students eagerly await school vacation weeks, but for some, it means missing out on the daily support they receive at school. During school vacations, after-school hours, on weekends, and during summer breaks, it becomes challenging for students to access nutritious meals. This can lead to food insecurity among children in our community. Learn how CORA helps families during these difficult times. https://lnkd.in/eHdFduRk https://lnkd.in/eVSqiKw9
