More than half of Hampden County residents are struggling with food insecurity, but what’s often overlooked is how people feel when seeking help. Nia Rennix is flipping the script by making dignity the heart of emergency food programs—think less about just handing out food, more about offering real choice and respect. Her approach includes culturally familiar foods, shorter lines, and a welcoming, no-judgment process. Rennix’s new virtual pantry, HungerDash, even delivers groceries to your door, helping erase the stigma. How do you think our community can further support neighbors facing tough times without adding shame or barriers? #Safety #FoodDignity #Springfield
