The Second Harvest Food Bank is hosting a community food drive in April.
KATC is reporting that the food bank is hosting the drive in recognition of this month being Senior Hunger Awareness Month.
WHY DO WE NEED A FOOD DRIVE?
According to the report, Louisiana ranks almost dead last on yet another list, as 23% of seniors in Louisiana are not always certain of how they will get their next meal, which is why Second Harvest is hosting the event.
Many seniors live on a fixed income. They skip meals or choose between buying groceries or paying their rent or utility bills, or even medication - Paul Scelfo, Second Harvest Food Bank via KATC

Second Harvest Food Bank will host a community-wide food drive this April to raise awareness for senior food insecurity and hunger.
April is Senior Hunger Awareness Month, and Second Harvest says that 23 percent of seniors in Louisiana, about one-in-four, face the threat of hunger.
âMany seniors live on a fixed income. They skip meals or choose between buying groceries or paying their rent or utility bills, or even medication,â said Paul Scelfo, Regional Director of Second Harvest Food Bank. âThis can create serious health implications.
