New Report: Food Insecurity in Chatham-Kent
At the February 2025 Board of Health meeting, CK Public Health released a report about household food insecurity in Chatham-Kent. A few key findings included:
- 1 in 5 households in CK are food insecure
- Many people in CK don't have enough money to buy food
- The root cause of food insecurity is poverty
- Emergency food charity is not a long-term solution.
The report calls on community members and organizations to learn about food insecurity, talk to friends, family, and colleagues about the true causes of food insecurity, and advocate for income solutions.
Find the full report, the above infographic, and more information on the CK Public Health website.
