Did you know... that almost half of the people served by food pantries in the U.S. live in households with at least one working adult, but these individuals must try to make ends meet on low wages that simply cannot cover mortgage or rent payments, the cost of prescriptions and medical care, utility bills, car payments and fuel costs, and food?
