What does it feel like to be unable to put food on your family’s table? Unfortunately, a growing number of Americans know the answer to this question. Today, one of every 10 people in the United States live with food insecurity — meaning that more than 30 million Americans are unsure if they’ll be able to feed themselves or their families on any given day.
The causes of food insecurity are as complex as they are varied. The pandemic only exacerbated the issue as it pushed more people into a place where they needed help. As thousands found themselves struggling with food insecurity for the first time, many faced an equally powerful struggle — the shame they may feel having to go to a food pantry.
