FOOD PANTRY & WISH LIST

​

Despite their sacrifices, Since 2011, 27% of veterans have struggled to provide food and worry each week about putting food on the table for their families. 

​

Research consistently shows that military families have been quietly struggling with food insecurity:

• In 2019, 1 in 8 of our national survey respondents was experiencing food insecurity.

• Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, that number rose to 1 in 5 in some parts of the country, such as Washington state.

• Research released in 2022 showed that 1 in 6 military and veteran families were experiencing food insecurity.

 

To combat veteran food insecurity, Connect-Vets offers a food delivery/shipping service for veterans and their families. We also provide gift cards to grocery stores.

​

Please note that proof of military service is required (including a DD214, military ID, VA ID, etc.),
