September is Hunger Action Month, and one food bank in the area is spreading awareness of the growing issue impacting millions of Americans.
“Unfortunately, we have over 65,000 people in northeast Arkansas in our twelve counties that face food insecurity every day,” Jennifer Hannah, chief programs officer at the Food Bank of Northeast Arkansas, said.
“It’s one of the highest rates in the country, and it's been one of the highest rates for several years,” Hannah said. “Inflation is also impacting people, so we’re kinda seeing an uptick in need right now, as people are trying to adjust back to pre-pandemic,” Hannah said.
