A Hungry Thanksgiving for Millions There is a hunger crisis in America this holiday season and advocates are growing frustrated at the lack of political action being taken to help reduce hunger in America. With households reporting not having enough to eat and relying on donations to put food on the table, the federal government must make critical investments in proven solutions that will provide much-needed relief for struggling households. FRAC’s Ellen Vollinger spoke with The Guardian about the administration’s inaction to address food insecurity during COVID-19 despite the holidays, saying, “it’s difficult to understand the lack of political will to address this when the county is in such a dire emergency.” By increasing the value of the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, Congress can address the ongoing economic fallout from the pandemic. | |
