Nutritional Food Insecurity

When exposed to trauma orr extreme stress, these individuals often face food restriction, excessive exposure to alcohol, caffeine, and ultra-processed food options, and reduced food aid. As a result, neurological changes occur in the brain. As well, the increased risk of food insecurity and housing crisis situations prevail along with amplified financial limitations to nutrient-dense food options. Many people may resort to residential programs where their food is cooked and prepared for them, having no control over the selection of their dietary options.

​

The Supporting Holiday Meals program provides complimentary nutrition-based resources and also nutrient-dense holiday meals for residents or clients of our partnering organizations.
