Today, over 50 million Americans suffer from food insecurity, and more than one in six households does not have the money to buy food their families need. This reality is something food banks witness daily.
“People came to us once in a while for food,” said Ross Fraser of Feeding America in a recent article published on Slate. “Now we are a staple in many people’s lives.”
This startling increase has gotten the attention of many food banks and shelters who are whole-heartedly committed to not only provide food, but to also provide nutritious items like the low-fat or fat-free dairy or produce that many Americans lack in their diets.
