48214, 1 of 4 Detroit zip codes MOST at risk for food insecurity

Black Bottom Community CDC (BBC CDC) "powers" the Field Street Community FRIDGE located in one of four City of Detroit Zip Codes - 48214 - with the highest rankings for food insecurity risk (Data Driven Detroit 2023/11/08, an updated measure of food insecurity).  Whereas BBC CDC responds to emergency food events e.g., the federal government’s November 2025 threat to terminate SNAP benefits and recent changes affecting SNAP eligibity, it daily addresses chronic food insecurity. BBC CDC  leverages organized food rescue efforts distributing fresh healthy food at no cost to low and moderate income families through its community FRIDGE program, its off site weekly neighborhood Food Share distribution, and fundraising activities.
