Yesterday we had to increase clinic hours to handle the case load, we had two full seatings at lunch with many people standing, and the food pantry had steady business that went beyond closing time. Our w...onderful staff and volunteers as usual stepped up with grace and energy.

Amherst Survival Center Study shows that "food insecurity" in the US is at a 14 year high. This is consistent with our own stats, which show a 17% increase in use of our food pantry since last year.

The number of Americans who lived in households that lacked consistent access to adequate food soared to 49 million last year, the highest since the Department of Agriculture began tracking "food insecurity" fourteen years ago, the New York Times reports.
