CBS News Military families' struggles bring outpouring of support Last Updated Feb 26, 2021 7:27 PM EST Kay, a military spouse, recently traveled back to a food bank to feed her family of six. Her family is one of many military families facing food insecurity during the coronavirus pandemic. "It lasts a couple of days, maybe just because there are so many of us in the house," said Kay, who didn't want her last name used for privacy reasons. Her husband, an E-5 sergeant, works at Joint Base Lewis-McChord near Tacoma, Washington. His take-home pay is roughly $3,000 a month. It's not enough. "I cannot feed my kids. I cannot make this vehicle payment because I had to feed my kids. It's just unacceptable, really," Kay said.
