AUBURN â United Way of DeKalb County has awarded a grant for $5,000 to Hoosiers Feeding the Hungryâs âMeatâ the Need Initiative to help ensure hunger relief agencies serving food-insecure residents in the county continue to have access to nutritious meat.
According to Feeding America, 4,690 DeKalb County residents â 1,800 of whom are childrenâ regularly struggle with food insecurity.
âMore than ever, families are struggling to buy groceries. Food banks, pantries and soup kitchens work to protect the most vulnerable and under-served in our communities, and these agencies continue to face increased demand during these uncertain times,â said Amber Zecca, fund development director of Hoosiers Feeding the Hungry. âProper nutrition is vital to the health of all Hoosiers. That is why protein is so important and, sadly, it is also the hardest commodity for food banks to obtain, especially now.â
