Food Security Matters in Adams County Rising costs are putting pressure on household food budgets. The 2026 Washington Food Security Survey found: – 69% of food-insecure respondents reduced the quantity or quality of their food because of rising prices. – Food, housing, and utilities were among the expenses households struggled to afford. – Food banks, SNAP, and school meals were the most commonly used food-assistance programs. These findings reflect survey participants across Washington not an Adams County-specific food-insecurity rate. They highlight why reliable food assistance matters. http://foodsystems.uw.edu/cphn/wafood/brief-17 At Othello Food Bank, we’re working to keep nutritious food within reach for our neighbors with dignity, care, and community support. @followers Adams County, Washington City of Othello, Washington Columbia Basin Herald The Ritzville Adams County Journal
