What is Food Insecurity?
Jefferson County is the second largest school district in Colorado with an enrollment count for the 2022-23 school year at 77,092 children. Out of that number, 27,367 students qualify for free and reduced lunch. Jefferson County has 34 Title 1 schools. Jeffco Eats provides food to 76% of those schools.
There are levels of food insecurity from dire to moderate, but all affect children’s physical health, mental health, and ability to learn and prosper, making it absolutely critical to offer consistent access to nutrient-dense food.
