Article Synopsis
- Food insecurity affects children and marginalized families, leading to health issues throughout life.
- The System to Achieve Food Equity (SAFE) began during the COVID-19 pandemic to help neighborhoods by ensuring all kids in Cincinnati have enough food.
- SAFE has connected over 300 people and 100 groups, provided over 270,000 meals, and plans to improve data sharing, engage more volunteers, and work on policies to help food security in the future.
Approximately 1 in 6 children in the United States, and 1 in 5 children in our local county (Hamilton County, Ohio), are food insecure. Here, we describe a novel community-academic partnership to address food inequity through distributed leadership and shared power with local neighborhood leaders. Using neighborhood-level data and community voice, 3 Cincinnati neighborhoods with high rates of poverty and food insecurity were selected as the primary intervention targets.
