Belmont organizations have teamed up with neighborhood volunteers to address a growing need for food in the community, as food insecurity rates rise across Massachusetts due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Food insecurity doubled from 8% to 16% among adults in Massachusetts since 2019, according to a 2020 research brief from Boston research center Boston Indicators. Food insecurity rose to 19% for households with children.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture defines food insecurity as diminished or uncertain access to food caused by socioeconomic factors.
