HUNGER
The Tackle Hunger Map allows YOU to find your neighborhood food charity and find out how you can help them feed your neighbors in need.
IN DALLAS COUNTY, 1 IN 5 PEOPLE ARE FOOD INSECURE.
That means that more than 400,000 of our neighbors lack consistent access to healthy food. For most households, food insecurity is a measure of food access problems, anxiety and poor nutrition rather than "missing meals."
Christians are commanded to feed the hungry. Until these families become self-sustaining, we have an obligation to at least feed homebound seniors and children who sometimes go hungry when not in school. However, while doing so, we need to protect everyone's dignity and be careful to not create dependence for those who can provide for themselves.
