Cars line up at a March food distribution event at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio.
A new report says military families are relying more on food banks and other emergency aid, partly because military spouses lost their jobs or had their hours cut during the pandemic.
On a spring day at Fort Sam Houston - an Army post in San Antonio, Texas,a line of cars idled with their trunks popped open, waiting as volunteers unloaded 11,000 pounds of food from a semi parked nearby. Some of the drivers were soldiers who had just gotten off work, while others were military spouses or relatives.
