ABSTRACT The Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) provides meals to children during out-of-school time, such as emergency school closures. This study assessed the trends in participation and operations of Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) sponsors in Maryland from 2016 to 2020 and evaluated the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic from 2019 to 2020. The total number of summer meals served significantly increased from approximately 3 million meals in 2019 to over 9.5 million meals in 2020. The number of breakfasts, lunches, and operating days also significantly increased from 2019 to 2020, but there was no significant change in the number of sites.

ABSTRACT Food insecurity is widespread among US college students. We examined the impact of participating in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) on food security status among students at a large public university using a quasi-experimental study. Sequentially adjusted logistic regression models were used to assess the impact of SNAP participation on food insecurity. SNAP participants experienced a 63% decrease in food insecurity from baseline to six months (p < .05). Adjusted models found 89% (95% CI 0.25–0.98) lower odds of food insecurity among program participants. Strategies to increase SNAP use may decrease food insecurity and its associated consequences among college students.
食品不安全在美国大学生中普遍存在。我们采用准实验研究的方法，考察了参加补充营养援助计划(SNAP)对一所大型公立大学学生食品安全状况的影响。采用顺序调整logistic回归模型评估SNAP参与对粮食不安全的影响。从基线到六个月，SNAP参与者的粮食不安全状况降低了63% (p < 0.05)。调整后的模型发现，项目参与者中食品不安全的几率降低了89% (95% CI 0.25-0.98)。增加SNAP使用的策略可能会减少大学生的粮食不安全及其相关后果。

ABSTRACT Household food security in Vietnam remains tenuous. We surveyed 552 households to investigate household food insecurity (HFI) in rural districts in the Vietnamese Mekong Delta. HFI prevalence was 34.4% and 48.4% in the last month and last year, respectively. Khmer households were twice as likely to experience HFI compared to their Kinh counterparts. The primary factors associated with HFI were weak livelihood assets including lower natural, financial, and human assets (being landless, low incomes), physical and social assets (poor market access, social networks), lower kitchen utensil scores, belonging to a minority and experiencing financial, agricultural, and extreme weather shocks.

ABSTRACT The objective was to determine the prevalence of household food insecurity (FI) in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) during the COVID-19 pandemic. Secondary analysis was performed using the waves 1 to 3 of the 2020 COVID-19 High Frequency Phone Surveys in 13 LAC countries. The countries with the highest FI in the first wave were Honduras (60.3%), Peru (58.1%) and Ecuador (57.9%). Likewise, the countries with the greatest differences in the prevalence of FI between the first and last waves in percentage points (PP) were Peru (−29), Guatemala (−27.7) and Bolivia (−21.8). LAC countries face a great burden of FI.

ABSTRACT Food banks served a record of 60 million people in 2020, but little is known regarding sources and quality of foods distributed, especially with the COVID-19 pandemic’s widespread disruptions. This mixed-methods study examined changes in food bank sourcing in 2020 relative to prior years. Findings highlight food bank-led purchases and federal commodities were used to meet increased food needs. While the inventory of fresh produce decreased proportionally in 2020 versus 2019, it increased in overall poundage by over a million pounds (p < 0.01). These findings have implications for nutritional food ranking across and within food banks.

ABSTRACT This study explores food and housing insecurity among university students at a public Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI) located in the U.S.-Mexico border region. Classification and regression trees were used to identify the principal factors leading to food or housing insecurity in a predominately Hispanic student population. An analysis of Hispanic university students is needed to better understand the challenges of the fastest growing group with the highest enrollment gain. Findings will inform decision makers and faculty in their efforts to address food and housing insecurity and enhance the responses necessary to better serve Hispanics and all students.

ABSTRACT This paper examined geographic patterns of changes in the density of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) applications at the zip code level in New Orleans, LA in the immediate aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic (March–May 2020), compared to pre-pandemic times (March–May 2019). All zip codes analyzed experienced increases in SNAP application density, ranging from 25% to 360%. While disadvantaged zip codes had higher SNAP application densities at baseline, they experienced a comparatively lower increase across time. Results highlight the staggering need for food assistance as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, including in areas with historically low need.

ABSTRACT The Cleaned.Cut.SNAP fruit and vegetable (FV) incentive program provided two weekly discounts of $5 off a $10 FV purchase via a grocery store loyalty card. The purpose of this study was to understand barriers to healthy eating, motivation for incentive use, redemption challenges, and perceived benefits of incentive use among participants. Twenty-two program participants in the 16-week pilot completed 1:1 semi-structured telephone interviews. The incentives helped participants overcome the barrier of affordability w to healthy eating, with cost-savings and improved health being motivators for incentive use. Participants reported purchasing/consuming more FV, improved health, food budgeting, and dietary variety during Cleaned.Cut.SNAP.

ABSTRACT We examine the relationship of home food procurement (HFP) during COVID-19 to emotional eating and stress using a statewide representative survey (n = 600) in Vermont. Women and people with a job change since COVID-19 were more likely to experience higher stress and emotional eating. Engaging in HFP, especially gardening, is associated with less emotional eating. However, people who fished, hunted, or canned more since the pandemic began were more likely to eat for emotional reasons and experience higher stress. These results suggest that gardening, even during a pandemic, may contribute to stress reduction, more so than other nature-based food production activities.

ABSTRACT Many residents of Atlantic City, New Jersey, a food desert, experience food insecurity. COVID-19, along with summer school closures, compounds this problem. AtlantiCare’s Free Summer Meals for Children and Teens helps combat this crisis. This case study provides an overview of the programs and descriptive statistics highlighting participants and their perceptions. Data indicate a positive experience and a high impact on their food insecurity, nutrition, physical and mental health, quality of time with friends and family, and writing and reading skills. This article illustrates how AtlantiCare is helping to close the meal gap and identifies the need for future efforts.
