Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand Rallies To Raise Awareness For Military Hunger

The Department of Defense estimates as many as 24% of military families are food insecure. That’s about 300,000 people, plus their families.

Senator Kirsten Gillibrand was joined by 9/11 first responder and longtime veterans advocate John Feal and MAZON: A Jewish Response to Hunger, called on lawmakers to help military families struggling with hunger.

"Our service members that put everything on the line that sacrifice everything are more likely to be food insecure than any other American citizen. That is a moral outrage. People should be furious about it, and we should be demanding better," said Gillibrand.
