The Need

Sierra County is one of the most food-insecure counties in the country

The food insecurity rate for children is at 33.7%

26.7% of the total population and 43.7% of our children

live at or below the Federal Poverty level.

60.2 Percent of families are single-parent families, twice the statewide average.

The Coronavirus pandemic and recent fires have both taken their toll.

Monsoon flooding has ruined grain crops on farms
