Certainly, people are not choosing to live in places where there is no access to food, so where do food deserts come from?

In an effort to recognize the realities of food insecurity that happen around us every day, we launched this blog in May of last year. We wanted to make it a priority to share with you, our network, about hunger in South Carolina. And today, a year later, it’s just as important as ever to talk about hunger.

At Harvest Hope, we believe that as we take time to celebrate the many accomplishments of women in our communities during Women's History Month, we must also recognize the economic barriers that women must overcome every day.

As the nation recognizes Black History Month to honor the triumphs and struggles of African Americans throughout history, we also want to recognize the barriers many black communities face within the food system.
