Amy Beros of the Food Bank of Central and Eastern NC on hunger and the threat to SNAP benefits ...Middle East

One of the greatest scandals in 21st Century America is that hunger – a genuine lack of adequate food — is a huge and fast growing problem for millions of people. In 34 central and eastern North Carolina counties, one-in-five people – that’s well over half-a-million men, women and children – suffers from food insecurity.

And sadly, things aren’t going to get better any time soon. Indeed, thanks to Trump administration cuts and more that are planned in Congress and the General Assembly, SNAP food assistance and other parts of our already threadbare and inadequate anti-hunger system will soon experience new, big and devastating cuts that are sure to worsen the problem. Not surprisingly, anti-hunger advocates are speaking up and demanding better and recently Newsline caught up with one such leader – the President and CEO of the Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina, Amy Beros.
