Texas Ranks Second for Senior Hunger: Over 690,000 Older Adults Struggle with Food Insecurity
PRESS RELEASE: November 01, 2024
Texas ranks second for senior hunger, with over 690,000 older adults now struggling to access nutritious food daily. These seniors, many on fixed incomes, face tough choices between paying for groceries or other basic needs. This alarming statistic reveals the growing crisis of food insecurity among Texas's older population—a crisis that puts health, dignity, and lives at risk.
At The Heritage Foundation USA, we’re on a mission to reduce senior hunger and improve the lives of those facing food insecurity across Texas. Our programs provide nutritious meals and essential resources for seniors, aiming to address the deep-seated food insecurity that affects so many. Last year alone, our efforts reached tens of thousands of older adults, but with Texas ranking second in the nation for senior hunger, the need has only intensified.
