Food insecurity continues to be a big issue during the pandemic. More than 23 million households sometimes or often didn t have enough to eat during part of January, according to the latest numbers from a U.S. Census Bureau survey.
Compare that to before the pandemic. Nearly 14 million households experienced food insecurity at some point in 2019, according to data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
