Store program. They really enjoy the healthy recipes they
can make with our fresh products. I’ve increased my

What is the state of food in Camden?
The food insecurity rate in Camden is around 65% and the childhood obesity rate is around 40%. Most
residents rely on corner stores or food pantries for groceries as there is only one grocery store in the city.1
