Hunger in the U.S. hits record high

This winter, more Americans than ever are expected to go hungry, based on a recent trend reported by the US Department of Agriculture.

This year, the amount of families struggling to put food on the table soared to an all time high since the Department of Agriculture began monitoring food insecurity 14 years ago.

13 million more Americans joined the ranks of people classified as food insecure; a number even larger than the most grim projections of increasing hunger in the country during the current economic recession.

The week of November 15th is National Hunger and Homeless Awareness Week. Organizations across the country have scheduled events across the country to bring greater understanding of the challenges that homeless individuals, families and children face daily.
