The emergency food system (EFS) is an essential part of the US social safety net, however, the utilization of EFS among food insecure, low-income households varies over time. While overall EFS use increased in 2020, there was no significant increase for older adults and non-metropolitan households compared to previous years. Targeted outreach efforts are necessary to extend the reach of EFS to underserved and marginalized populations.
The emergency food system (EFS) is a critical part of the United States' social safety net. Using 2015-2020 Current Population Survey Food Security Supplement data, we identified trends in EFS use among food insecure, low-income households by estimating the probability of EFS use adjusting for demographics using multivariable logistic regression. From 2015 to 2019, between 31.0% and 34.4% of households received emergency food, while 42.4% did in 2020. EFS use did not increase in 2020 compared to prior years for older adults and non-metropolitan households. Targeted outreach should be used to expand the reach of this resource to underserved and marginalized populations.
