Abstract
This study examines food insecurity from the providers’ perspective in a Midwestern county. To understand food insecurity in this county, an interview of the county choice food pantries and its food bank supplier was completed. Data included descriptive demographic data about the county residents, as well as interviews with both a director and front-line worker from the food bank and five choice food pantries from different townships in the county. The study examined the providers’ perspective on how county residents experience food access and food insecurity barriers. The study focused on the process by which the food bank, food pantries and federal food assistance programs alleviate food insecurity and work towards self-sustained food security. I discussed study limitations and implications for practice, policy and research.
