Food banks nationwide are being pinched by record demand, high food prices and hundreds of millions of dollars in federal budget cuts.
The article from ABC News discusses the severe challenges faced by food banks across the United States due to federal funding cuts amidst a record high demand for services. Food banks, already strained by the economic impacts of the ongoing global health crisis, are now facing reduced federal support, which has historically been crucial for their operations. The cuts are affecting programs like The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP), leading to decreased food supplies at a time when more people are turning to food banks for help. Leaders from various food banks have expressed concerns about their ability to meet the rising need, with some reporting that they are serving significantly more families than before the cuts. The article highlights the urgent need for alternative funding and increased community support to prevent food banks from collapsing under the pressure of these dual challenges.
