Despite the land's capacity to provide sufficient food for every individual on the planet, food insecurity remains a heartbreaking reality in the world today.
According to the USDA, the following statistics reflect food insecurity in the United States in 2024:
Veronica Mount founded Land of Promise as a 501(c)(3) organization in 2006, motivated by a transformative mission trip to Uganda, Africa. During her visit, she witnessed the stark reality of hunger, a contrast to her experiences in America, where hunger often remains hidden. Prior to this trip, Veronica had volunteered at food pantries and churches, where food-insecure individuals would seek assistance. She never had to find them.
After relocating to Atlanta, GA, and launching a food insecurity program, Veronica faced the challenge of identifying those in need. This presented a significant obstacle in designing an effective program to combat food insecurity.
Driven by her passion, she participated in the United States Hunger study, which uncovered alarming statistics regarding food insecurity in the country. Collaborating with community partners and social workers became essential in locating those who were food insecure yet hidden from view.
