Background Information

“Food security exists when all people at all times have access to sufficient, safe, nutritious food and clean water to maintain a healthy and active life. Food security is built on three pillars:

  • Food availability: sufficient quantities of food available on a consistent basis,
  • Food access: having sufficient resources to obtain appropriate foods for a nutritious diet,
  • Food use: appropriate use based on knowledge of basic nutrition and care, as well as adequate water and sanitation.
Purpose Statement

The Food Security Prophetic Witness Team will support communities of faith with resources, expertise and other means of assistance to be agents for CHANGING LIVES through community empowerment on the issue of food security.

Believing that access to healthy food and clean water are matters of justice, community health and stability we seek to help the faith communities of the Eastern Ohio Association/Western Reserve Association through education, advocacy and direct service.

EOA/WRA communities of faith can unite in a partnership of Christian service to benefit those in need in our neighborhoods and cities.
