Food insecurity in portions of Kentucky, Indiana on the rise
KILLED ARMSTRONG, BUT HE DIED IN JUNE. IT맥스카지노S AN ALARMING STATISTIC. FOOD INSECURITY AND PORTIONS OF KENTUCKY AND INDIANA HAS INCREASED BY ALMOST 50% IN TWO YEARS, AT A TIME WHEN LOCAL FOOD BANKS ARE RECEIVING LESS SUPPORT FROM THE GOVERNMENT. BLAKELY MCHUGH WAS AT DARE TO CARE FOOD BANK TO FIND OUT WHY THIS IS HAPPENING. LEADERS HERE AT DARE TO CARE ARE CALLING IT THE PERFECT STORM. THEY SAY THEY맥스카지노RE PREPARING FOR THE WORST, BUT HOPING FOR THE BEST. IT맥스카지노S A ROUTINE SIGHT AT DARE TO CARE FOOD BANK, LOCAL FOOD PANTRIES LOADING UP THEIR VANS AND HEADING OUT TO DISTRIBUTE FOOD. WE맥스카지노LL TAKE THE WHOLE THING. BUT OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS, THEY맥스카지노VE SEEN A DECREASE IN THE AMOUNT OF FOOD THEY맥스카지노RE RECEIVING AND AN INCREASE IN THE AMOUNT OF FOOD NEEDED. AND THIS LEVEL WE REALLY HAVEN맥스카지노T SEEN SINCE THE GREAT RECESSION. WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THE NUMBERS WE맥스카지노VE HAD SINCE 2008, NEW NUMBERS FROM FEEDING AMERICA SHOW FOOD INSECURITY IN PARTS OF KENTUCKY AND INDIANA HAS NEARLY DOUBLED IN THE LAST TWO YEARS. THAT MEANS MORE THAN 186,000 PEOPLE ACROSS 13 COUNTIES ARE EXPERIENCING A LACK OF FOOD. THAT맥스카지노S JUST UNIMAGINABLE. LEADERS WITH DARE TO CARE SAY THERE맥스카지노S A REASON FOR THIS THE EXTRA BENEFITS PEOPLE RECEIVE DURING THE PANDEMIC HAVE GONE AWAY, WHILE PRICES FOR JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING HAVE GONE UP FROM LAST YEAR. WE WERE SERVING ABOUT 1000 PEOPLE A MONTH. IN JUST ONE YEAR THAT LOOKS LIKE 2000 PEOPLE A MONTH THAT WE ARE NOW SERVING WITH PROGRAMS LIKE SNAP AND THE EMERGENCY FOOD ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. AT RISK OF LOSING FUNDING. THE CONCERN IS THAT IF THE NEED GETS TOO GREAT AND THERE ISN맥스카지노T ENOUGH FEDERAL SUPPORT, MEALS MAY STOP GOING OUT. FOLKS ARE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO HAVE FOOD. WE맥스카지노RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO EVEN PROVIDE THE FOOD BECAUSE IT맥스카지노S NOT COMING TO US. DARE TO CARE IS ASKING PEOPLE TO REACH OUT TO THEIR LOCAL LEGISLATORS AND SPECIFICALLY TALK TO THEM ABOUT SNAP AND TEFAP.
