Food insecurity is a growing concern across Pinellas County. We are honored to work with Daystar Life Center, Inc. through our #projecttryton initiative. According to Feeding America's Map the Meal Gap 2020 study, which used data from 2018: Pinellas County: - Food insecurity rate: 12.2% (124,430 people) - Child food insecurity rate: 19.1% (38,080 children) Hillsborough County: - Food insecurity rate: 12.6% (178,820 people) - Child food insecurity rate: 19.5% (61,600 children) It's important to note that these numbers are from before the COVID-19 pandemic, which likely exacerbated food insecurity in these counties and across the United States. Feeding America projected that the overall food insecurity rate for the United States could have reached up to 15.6% in 2020 due to the economic impact of the pandemic. #endhunger

As we observe Suicide Awareness Month, it's crucial to highlight the resources that can make a real difference in our communities. Crisis Stabilization Units (CSUs) provide a safe, supportive environment for those experiencing mental health crises. When paired with the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, these units serve as a beacon of hope, offering immediate access to care and support. The synergy between CSUs and 988 ensures that individuals in crisis have not only a lifeline to reach out to but also a physical place where they can receive the help they need in a time of intense vulnerability. This combination underscores our commitment to mental health care and suicide prevention. Let’s continue to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and advocate for the expansion of these essential services, ensuring that no one has to face a mental health crisis alone. #SuicideAwarenessMonth #MentalHealthMatters #988Lifeline #CrisisStabilizationUnits
