Having adequate access to proper nutrition is essential for developing healthy girls. When children don’t have enough food, they suffer. Aside from the physical impacts of food insecurity, the stress and uncertainty associated with not having enough food can also impact children’s mental health, increasing the likelihood of anxiety and depression. Consistent and prolonged food insecurity can also perpetrate a cycle of poverty, which disproportionately affects women, as data and research have regularly shown that women are more likely to experience food insecurity and its health consequences. What are you doing to ensure our girls have access to food this Thanksgiving holiday while schools are closed throughout the state? #FoodForAll Having adequate access to proper nutrition is essential in developing healthy girls.
