The Problem
The problem that our group has chosen to address is food insecurity. Last year our school started a backpacks program to feed hungry families in our school. For that program, students can take home a backpack full of food at the end of each week and then return the backpack the next week. The problem is that the backpacks mostly contain processes food, and do not contain fresh fruits and vegetables. We have learned that access to fresh produce is a big part of food security because it gives people healthy and nutritious food. Our campaign will add fresh produce to the backpack program to help with the problem of food insecurity here in the school community.
