JACKSON, Miss. (WJTV) – Millions of families living in America face hunger every day including here in Mississippi. One local organization is working to change that for the Jackson-metro area.
Ending hunger and moving people forward to self-sufficiency is the goal of Hungry Free America. They hosted an event at the Two Mississippi Museums to highlight the SNAP Program which is a federal nutrition assistance program. They are also working to pass the “Hope Act” through Congress; it supports assistance programs like SNAP.
Joel Berg, the CEO of Hungry Free America, said food insecurity increased during the pandemic.
