Join OneOp’s 2023 Military Family Readiness Academy as we mobilize family service professionals at federal, state, and local levels to focus on expanding food security for our military family population.

Within the military population, we see a confluence of factors impacting food security, such as spouse unemployment, frequency of moves, and enlisted service member pay grade and rank. A rise in economic insecurity has also contributed to increased food insecurity in vulnerable populations. Service providers have the ability to expand food security in the communities they support. Join the 2023 Academy series to explore food insecurity’s impact on military families, and discover how to apply your knowledge to the communities you serve!
