On Sept. 23, 2022, Fox News Digital was on hand as Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, CEO of Feeding America, shared thoughts on Hunger Action Day about the need among Americans who are food-insecure.
The lines at food pantries are not "going away in New York [and] they're not going away across the country." Due to inflation, these charitable organizations are seeing people on the food lines that they never saw earlier. Senior citizens every month must decide: "Do I go to the pharmacy this month and pick up my medication — or do I eat?" "Our neighbors are hungry and we have to help," said chef Rocco DiSpirito. Feeding America includes a network of more than 200 food banks, 21 statewide food bank associations, and over 60,000 partner agencies, food pantries and meal programs.

"Some of our food banks are in fact seeing higher rates, higher demand today than they did at the peak of COVID," Feeding America's CEO, Claire Babineaux-Fontenot told Fox News Digital at the event.
