4/23/2020

0 Comments

https://hungerandhealth.feedingamerica.org/2020/03/impact-coronavirus-food-insecurity/
 
Three scenarios are described that, depending on the level of job losses, could mean that 4 - 17 million more Americans will be food insecure compared to pre-pandemic levels of 37 million -- it all depends on the extent of job/income losses.
