Community Impact
Food insecurity in Osage County, Kansas
Food insecurity has a significant negative impact on families and communities in Osage County, Kansas, where approximately 13.7% of residents experience food insecurity. This is a 3.7% increase over the past two years. This means more than one in 10 people in the county may not have consistent access to proper nutrition. Food insecurity forces families to make difficult choices between buying groceries or paying bills, and has detrimental effects on academics, employment performance, mental health, and overall physical health.

Hope Against Hunger food assistance to approximately 140 families in Osage County, Kansas, through the year 2025. These pantry packs provide meat, eggs, milk, and other nutritious items in every pack.
