America's looming food bank crisis

The article from Newsweek, published on February 22, 2023, discusses the looming crisis facing America's food banks as they struggle with increased demand and decreased donations. Food banks across the country are reporting a surge in need, driven by factors such as inflation, the end of pandemic-era assistance programs, and rising food costs. At the same time, donations have not kept pace, with fewer individuals and corporations contributing to food banks. This has led to a situation where food banks are forced to purchase more food at higher prices, straining their budgets and resources. The article highlights the experiences of several food banks, including the Atlanta Community Food Bank and the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank, which are seeing record numbers of people seeking assistance. Experts warn that without increased support and policy changes, the situation could worsen, potentially leading to widespread food insecurity across the nation.
