Every day, brave military personnel defend our freedom, yet many face hunger. In fact, 1 in 4 active-duty service members (or 24% of active-duty service members) were food insecure in 2020. Service members often experience unique challenges making it difficult to access the food they need to thrive, from limited income to high cost-of-living and other financial commitments. Additionally, service members often are required to move from base to base, making it difficult for spouses to maintain consistent work. This leaves the family to rely on the single income of the service member. While many military members and their families face hunger, very few qualify for federal food assistance programs. The St. Louis Area Foodbank is committed to making it easier for military families to get access to the food they need. We are investing in collaborative partnerships with military-focused nonprofits and organizations to advocate for federal policy support. We are also creating food distribution events focused on assisting active-duty military personnel and veterans.
