The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated food insecurity in the United States. General economic hardship, school closures and overwhelmed food banks have left the most vulnerable increasingly at risk.
On Tuesday, Sept. 15 at 12:45 p.m. ET, Washington Post senior writer Frances Stead Sellers will explore unexpected aspects of food insecurity – from hidden hunger on college campuses to the impact on over 20 million American schoolchildren who rely on free or reduced price school meals with guests such as journalist Soledad O’Brien, CEO of Soledad O'Brien Productions and host of Matter of Fact, and Sara Goldrick-Rab, professor of sociology and medicine at Temple University.
FRAC unveils the faces of hunger created by COVID-19 and why federal nutrition programs are critical to helping people put food on the table.
