"America’s Breadlines Are Back!
Working Families Wait Hours For Food"
"America's new breadlines are here and the people standing in them aren't who you'd expect. Teachers working two jobs. Part-time receptionists raising kids alone. Young parents who just paid rent and have nothing left for groceries. Families waiting an hour and a half in a car line with a toddler in the back seat, just to get a box of food. In this video we watch real stories from food bank lines across the country, and talk about what's actually driving them: grocery prices that jumped about a third since 2020 and never came back down, millions of families dropped from food stamps (SNAP) in under a year, and food banks receiving less food to hand out at the exact moment more working families are showing up, many of them with a pay stub in hand. The food bank used to be the emergency. For a lot of households it's now part of the monthly budget. That's the part nobody is planning for. If you've ever stood in one of these lines, you're not alone and there's no shame in it.'
