*According to the just released USDA report on Hunger in the USA.

“People are hurting,” said Janie Singleton, executive director of the High Plains Food Bank in Amarillo, which distributes food in 26 counties in the Panhandle. “The price of most basic foods has gone up considerably, so it’s hard for many families, especially for those with young children, to make ends meet. “These are people who work but don’t make enough money – anxiously waiting for Congress to approve the farm bill – through the farm bill, the USDA gives food banks some products such as rice, pinto beans, peanut butter, canned vegetables, corn flakes, juices and fruits.”

This week congress is debating the Farm Bill.

“Check out this great series of articles on hunger in America written by the staff of Kennebec Journal & Morning Sentinel. ” – Hungrr
“We don’t talk about hunger because solving it is so big and complex. Its solutions entail making a college education more affordable and accessible; revamping our national farm policy to favor production of nutritious foods; promoting economic development to raise wages that currently cannot support families. We will need to reform a federal public assistance program that is insufficient and, paradoxically, creates dependency by penalizing recipients for trying to get ahead. Each of those is a serious challenge that will take years to accomplish.”

“Demand for food stamps is on the rise in Montana. Last year one out of every 12 Montanans, used food stamps to buy groceries each month. That’s more than one-third higher than who received food stamps in 2000.
‘It’s basically because our jobs on average don’t pay a lot. The goal clearly is to get people off food stamps. We’re trying to get more good-paying jobs.’ U.S. Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont.
‘We need to lend a helping hand to Montanans in need. Our goal must be developing a plan that will improve access to the food stamp program, particularly for children, the elderly, the working poor and our veterans. I think we can do that.’ – Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont. ”

Kathy Prater feeds hungry families in her community.
“It started six years ago at the Countryside mobile home park where she lives,
a well-kept neighborhood of modern doublewides with many older residents.
On bingo nights, Prater discovered that some people were cleaning out the
refreshments afterward because they had no food at home.
“I checked it out,” she said, and learned that people were in fact going hungry
in her neighborhood. “I said, ‘Not on my watch, you’re not.’”
