Summary

Imagine not knowing where your next meal is coming from. Unfortunately, that's the reality for millions of Americans. Nationwide, the USDA reported nearly 13% of U.S. households faced food insecurity in 2022. The worst numbers in nearly a decade. And while this time of year we are more likely to think of those less fortunate, the need in this country is year-round. FOX News Rundown host Lisa Brady recently spoke with Feeding America CEO Claire Babineaux-Fontenot. Babineaux-Fontenot told us why food insecurity is on the rise and how their network of food pantries is trying to help. She also discussed how both individuals and the government can better help families struggling to eat or get proper nutrition. We made edits for time and thought you might like to hear our entire conversation with Feeding America CEO Claire Babineaux-Fontenot. On today's FOX News Rundown Extra, you'll hear even more about America's food crisis and what you can do to help. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
