Feeding America Map the Meal Gap (MMG) is a comprehensive annual research study created by Feeding America, the nation's largest hunger relief organization. This groundbreaking dataset provides local-level estimates of food insecurity for every county and congressional district across the United States, making it unique as the only study offering such granular geographic coverage. The dataset contains detailed information about food insecurity rates among various populations including children, seniors, and specific racial/ethnic groups, along with estimates of local food costs and budget shortfalls. Its purpose is to improve understanding of communities facing hunger, inform policy decisions, and inspire action to end food insecurity in America. The study builds upon USDA national data but provides unprecedented local detail, using publicly available information from sources like the Census Bureau and Bureau of Labor Statistics. Now in its 14th year (as of 2024), MMG serves as a critical tool for food banks, policymakers, researchers, and community organizations working to address hunger through targeted interventions and resource allocation.
