“Food Insecurity” is a term which refers to the “lack of access to enough food to live a health life for all household members.”

For most of us, if we discover that our pantry is bare, it’s not a crisis. We simply go to the grocery store to replenish, or we go out to eat. However, it isn’t that way for everyone.

Reports indicate that 18.1 percent of Tarrant County residents are “food insecure,” a few percentage points higher than the national average.

We don’t need a report to tell us this, because we see the people who come through our front room every day.  90% of those who come through need and receive a 3-5 day supply of food from Mission Arlington^®.

In 2021, more than 50,000 families received food, representing 176,152 people.

Mission Arlington^® has food to give, because you provide it, day after day,  You are making a difference here, and we are so grateful!  Thank you!
