Second Harvest Food Bank of North Central Ohio conducted the most comprehensive study of the local charitable response to hunger ever taken in our region.
Through hundreds of face-to-face client interviews and surveys of Second Harvest's Network of hunger-relief organizations. Hunger in America 2006 shows the nature and incidence of demand for emergency food assistance.
The results of Hunger in America 2006 should be discomforting. It is difficult to understand how people living in this land of plenty can have to make decisions between paying for food or other household necessities. It is troubling that children and seniors, the country's most vulnerable citizens, may have to forgo their most basic need - the need for food because of a lack of resources.
Hunger in America 2006 tells the stories of more than 33,000 men, women and children who receive emergency food assistance each year the Second Harvest Food Bank of North Central Ohio.
