SACRAMENTO, Calif., May 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ California food banks call for key investments in the California State Budget. Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, food banks have served on the frontlines, responding to at least double the demand for emergency food.

actually increased by 2.1% bringing the rate to 10.0% approximately 2.5 million adults and 750,000 children. Food insufficiency or very low food security is nested within the traditional food insecurity rates and captures those who experience toxic stress from not knowing where their next meal will come from.
