Center for Service and Learning offers perspectives in food insecurities, how to serve while at home

Food insecurity is a persistent problem in Appalachia. The U.S. Department of Agriculture defines the term as a “condition of limited or uncertain access to adequate food. Join a conversation Thursday (April 30) at 6 p.m. about how we can further our efforts to combat this societal challenge while we are serving at home.

This expert panel and discussion is a part of the Perspectives discussion series presented by WVU’s Center for Service and learning.

Nonprofit organizations and University departments are finding unique ways to combat food insecurity in the region. Some of these programs work to fill gaps in federal food assistance programs, while others are getting creative with food systems and supporting local farmers. All of them are making a difference in the fight against hunger, and all face challenges.
