Our group (Christa Alcon, Sarah Garcia, Vincent Huynh, and Preston Bentley) decided to focus on the topic of Food Security in Washington. We all decided that this was what we wanted to focus on because access to nutritious meals is a basic human need, essential to health and vitality, and food insecurity in our communities is a huge issue. We wanted to help be part of the solution, not turn a blind eye or ignore the problem. After looking into this issue, we found that due to the COVID-19 pandemic food insecurity has nearly doubled in Washington.

We each researched and reached out to different organizations to find multiple ways in which we could take action to help solve food insecurity in the United States. Click on each of the pages below to learn about the respective organization and opportunities to get involved.
