The Food Bank of Northern Nevada holds frequent mobile food harvests where residents can drive up to get food.
The pandemic s economic toll has left many in the Mountain West struggling to feed their families. In fact, Nevada and New Mexico have some of the highest rates of child food insecurity in the country, according to a report published last fall by the nonprofit Feeding America.
Emily Engelhard, the director of research at Feeding America, says two main factors are driving food insecurity across the region.
“One is that we are seeing the areas that historically have had the highest levels of food insecurity continue to have the highest levels of food insecurity,” she says – especially among people of color.
