Guilford County's Food Security Hub is a place where individuals facing food insecurity, farmers, and consumers can connect with the resources they need. Guilford County is committed to ensuring that all residents have access to fresh, nutritious food. By fostering partnerships between growers and community organizations, we aim to create pathways that uplift our farmers while providing essential resources for food-insecure populations. Explore programs and initiatives designed to empower both producers and consumers, as we work together to build a resilient food system that nourishes everyone in our communities.
