Nutrition and Food Security
About This Series
Among our nation’s active-duty service members and their families, an estimated 24 percent are food insecure. Nutrition and food security is a multifaceted issue that requires a collaborative response. This series will cover programs that address nutrition and food security as it affects service members and their families. Join OneOp as we focus on strengthening food security among military families and mobilizing family service professionals to work together at federal, state, and local levels.
