The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) defines food insecurity as the lack of consistent access to enough food to maintain a healthy and active life. In 2019, Clinton County experienced a food insecurity rate of 9.7% while Eaton County was 11.8% (Feeding America).

Wacousta Community UMC has been supporting Blessings in a Backpack and other area organizations committed to meeting food insecurity needs through E.A.T Fundraisers like Soup Sundays.
