Uniteee Violence and Incarceration Prevention
Southern California, a region often associated with affluence and sunshine, harbors a less visible crisis that profoundly impacts its communities: food insecurity. Millions of residents across Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Riverside, Orange, and San Diego counties struggle with inconsistent access to adequate and nutritious food. While the immediate impact of hunger is clear, the far-reaching consequences of food insecurity extend into areas that might seem unrelated, including the prevention of violence and the reduction of incarceration rates. Understanding this connection is crucial for building safer and more just communities throughout Southern California.
