The Hunger Count 2024 shows over two million visits to food banks in March 2024, up six percent from 2023 and 90 percent from 2019, driven by inflation, housing costs, and weak social supports. It highlights rising need among renters, newcomers, seniors, and families with children, and calls for rent assistance and a monthly groceries benefit to help low income households.
