New Jersey-based direct response firm Tristar Products specializes in retail sales. In 2021, Tristar Products partnered with Feeding America and donated over 1 million meals to people dealing with food insecurity.
According to a study by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, approximately one in nine Americans suffer from food insecurity, which refers to the lack of regular access to food. Food insecurity affects all communities in the United States. It is usually overlapped by such issues as a lack of affordable housing, health problems, and low incomes.
Feeding America notes that there are four levels of food security. Households with high food security do not have any problems or anxiety around accessing food, while households with marginal food security have some anxiety around accessing food but still manage to acquire food of acceptable quality and in acceptable quantities. Households with low food security have to reduce the quality and quantity of their food but do not significantly disrupt their eating patterns. Finally, households with very low food security sometimes lack the resources to access food.
