Food insecurity in Orange County has surged to crisis levels, with over 387,000 residents—nearly one in eight—struggling to afford three meals a day, a number likely even worse today. Rising grocery costs, skyrocketing rent and gas prices, and shrinking federal aid programs are hitting families hard—even those with full-time jobs. The reality? You can be working 40 hours a week and still go hungry. This isn’t just about unemployment—it’s about the crushing weight of rising costs and disappearing safety nets in our own backyard.
