ISSUES
Feeding The Community
-
In 2020, 16.3 million American households had limited or uncertain access to enough food
-
Although two thirds of people in the United States acquire an income above the federal poverty line, more than 36 million experience hunger. With 36 million facing hunger, 11 million of those individuals are categorized as children.
-
Due to the federal poverty line, many individuals that experience a shortage of food do not qualify for federal nutrition program and need to rely on their local food banks or other hunger relief organizations for support.
-
There is not a certain type of person hunger can affect. Hunger affects people from all walks of life, especially children and our elderly community.
Financial Security
-
Women face unique challenges when planning for their families and building a solid foundation for the future. Through growing life expectancy, being a caretaking, and continuous fighting of closing the wage gap, the majority of women at some point in their lives will be solely responsible for their family’s long-term financial decision
-
Since women tend to outlive men, women must be prepared for their investment and savings to last longer through retirement
-
In the U.S, approximately 25% of women are expected to leave the workforce at some point to be a caregiver for a child or aging parent, compared with only 15% of men.
-
Women are not as confident as men when it comes to investing.
Spiritual Growth
-
Spiritually significantly influences what a person’s think and believes.
-
Individuals tend to associate spirituality with positive health outcomes, physically and mentally.
-
Research supports the importance of religious involvement in the lives of people, especially women.
-
Studies indicate that spirituality may influence self-esteem and a sense of belonging, sustaining valued health behavior. Spiritual support can enhance positive evaluations of and adaptations to traumatic events and protect against stress-related diseases.
Mental Health Assistance
-
More than 1 in 5 women in the United States experienced a mental health condition in the past year, such as depression or anxiety.
-
Mental disorders are among the top most costly health conditions for adults 18 to 64 in the United States, along with cancer and trauma-related disorder.
-
Gender differences occur particularly in the rates of common mental disorders - depression, anxiety and somatic complaints. These disorders, in which women predominate, affect approximately 1 in 3 people in the community and constitute a serious public health problem.
-
Pressures created by their multiple roles, gender discrimination and associated factors of poverty, hunger, malnutrition, overwork, domestic violence and sexual abuse, combine to account for women's poor mental health.
