Food insecurity is not just about hunger—it’s about systemic barriers that prevent individuals and families from accessing the resources they need to thrive. Deeply rooted, interconnectd systemic challenges, including income inequality, unaffordable housing, and limited access to healthcare.
Our mission goes beyond addressing hunger to ensuring nutrition security, because access to healthy, nutritious food is essential for long-term well-being. However, in Park County, food insecurity is intensified by unique challenges: vast rural areas with limited food access, economic inequality, and the growing impacts of climate change. These factors disproportionately affect low-income families, seniors, and individuals with limited transportation, creating complex barriers to stability and health.
On this page, we explore the root causes of food insecurity in our community, why it matters, and how LFRC is tackling these challenges with innovative programs and strategies. Explore the map below to see where we work and how we’re making a difference across Park County.
