In response both to changes in the political climate regarding welfare and an increasing demand for food assistance programs, Brown County University of Wisconsin Extension launched a research effort and action plan to address food insecurity. Using the USDA Household Food Security Survey, in 1998 and 1999 social work students at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay surveyed at-risk populations in Green Bay to determine the prevalence of food insecurity. The 1999 survey respondents also identified reasons for their food insecurity and initiatives that might help. Using the survey results, the Brown County Food and Hunger Network developed and began implementation of an action plan to address the problem. This report provides the survey results and related action plan. It encourages others to initiate a similar process that mobilizes communities to address hunger and food insecurity.
