Food insecurity means not having enough safe food to eat. It affects 1 in 3 people in the world. In Australia, some new food shops called social supermarkets are helping people. These shops give people cheap food and also help them in other ways.
New Food Shops Help Families in Need
Easy
The Food Center in South Australia is one example. It has a supermarket with some free food, a low-cost café, a thrift shop, community kitchen, gardening classes, and chances to volunteer. These places help people feel respected while they get food. More than 13% of people in rich countries like Australia now need food help. Many groups only give food for a short time. But these new social supermarkets try to help people for longer.
