“If we took the money from our tax dollars & put it into ...better incomes, we would reap enormous savings by reducing heart disease, cancer, food insecurity, all kinds of issues that are so much higher in people who are living in poverty.” shorturl.at/dGH28 #foodinsecurity

#HungerCount2022 shows food bank use is up from coast-to-coast-to-coast.
