Nearly 30 million out of 249 million respondents in a Census Bureau survey said they did not have enough to eat at some point in the week before July 21. It was the highest number of people reporting insufficient food since tracking started in early May.
Ruth Webb used to supplement her grocery shopping with a monthly trip to a local food pantry, where she would get fresh produce like potatoes, onions and carrots.
"It would help out on the groceries," said Webb, who lives in Benson, North Carolina."Every once in a while there would be some instant mashed potatoes." Then the coroanvirus hit, and safety precautions forced the food pantry to shutter its doors.
