Resources for Those Facing Food Insecurity
“Food Insecurity is an issue that the Board of Commissioners is determined to beat because no one, in any community, should ever have to worry about where their next meal is coming from,” said Commissioner Virginia Betteridge, liaison to the Camden County Department of Health and Human Services. “Food insecurity can impact anyone at any time as millions of Americans are just a missed paycheck away from going hungry. By joining together and sharing ideas, we can make a difference and find real solutions to food insecurity here in Camden County and across the state.”
