Hunger is hard, now, finding food is easy.
One of the problems facing people who are food insecure is knowing where to turn for assistance. Finding nutritious, readily available food shouldn’t be hard. That’s why we created Community Compass™– a free, quick and easy app designed to show people where they can find food assistance in Marion County.
