Making Tough Choices Between Food and Other Expenses Like Utilities, Transportation, and Medicine

Real Stories of Hunger in America

It’s a terrible feeling as a mom but it’s a reality. Do you get the medicine? Do you get the fresh food? Do you get the shoes, or do you send them to school in November with sandals?

Brittany wants to give her children everything, but she couldn’t always afford the healthiest food. When the Utah food bank brought fresh produce and dairy to her neighborhood, it helped her family get back on their feet.

Watch this video about Brittany and visit www.feedingamerica.org to learn how Feeding America and its network of food banks are helping Americans like Brittany all across the country.
