Building a More Equitable Future
Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week serves as a vital reminder that addressing poverty and housing insecurity requires more than temporary solutions. It calls for sustained collaboration between government agencies, nonprofits, and residents working toward a more equitable and caring community.
By bringing together service providers, advocates, and neighbors, Hernando County continues to demonstrate that meaningful change begins at the local level — with empathy, inclusion, and shared responsibility.
