How Virginia Cooperative Extension is Fighting Food Insecurity in Virginia
January 26, 2022
2-3 p.m. ET

The COVID-19 pandemic increased the number of Virginians who struggle to consistently acquire enough food to feed themselves and their families. It has been estimated that an additional 446,000 Virginians have become food insecure during the pandemic, in addition to the 850,000 Virginians who were already struggling before the pandemic and economic downturn. This presentation will provide an overview of how many people in Virginia are affected by food insecurity, who it affects, and how Virginia Cooperative Extension is actively addressing this public health and economic crisis.

We have provided an option to make a gift at check-out for those who would like to contribute. All gifts will support the Virginia Family Nutrition Program.
