For the next week, we’re looking at food insecurity and hunger in the Camp Fire burn scar. It’s been more than a year and a half after the fire, through a series of five 30-minute episodes we’ll hear from survivors about their experience with a lack of food access and we’ll hear from those trying to help. We’ll learn about what’s working and what still needs to be done for food recovery after the fire. 

If you are a Camp Fire survivor who is having challenges getting healthy food for yourself or your family and you want to help us with this reporting – please fill our out our food insecurity survey.
