Seeking answers to the hunger issues in our community, Tri-State Food Bank, participated in a nationwide study “Hunger in America 2010”, conducted by Mathematica Policy Research for Feeding America.
The report provides a comprehensive look at who is hungry and who is serving the hungry locally in tri-state community.
The information is drawn from a national study, Hunger in America 2010, conducted in the spring of 2009 for Feeding America (FA) (formerly America’s Second Harvest), the nation’s largest organization of emergency food providers. Locally, the study is based on completed in-person interviews with 307 clients served by the Tri-State Food Bank agencies, as well as on completed questionnaires from more than 132 agencies reporting on 234 feeding programs.
