Food Insecurity – What Is It?

• Food Insecure = person or household that does not have enough food to eat

• DCPNI’s survey questions: – “I/we worried whether our food

would run out before I/we got money to buy more.”

– “The food that I/we bought just didn’t last, and I/we didn’t have money to get any more.”

Why is Food Insecurity Important?

Food insecure households are more likely to: • Have trouble prioritizing other

things• Have parents skipping meals so

children can eat• Experience higher rates of

obesity

What have we learned?

• These parents may be hungry• We should focus initial parental

engagement on child attendance at school
