Ranges of Food Security
While households are often described as either food secure or food insecure, four levels of food security describe the range of households’ experiences in accessing enough food. Households with high food security and marginal food security make up the food secure category, and households with low food security and very low food security make up the food insecure category.
We serve all and we welcome all. Pirates' Pantry is a branch of the Basic Needs Program at Modesto Junior College.
