The Pandemic

Many of us remember images like these from early on in the pandemic, of miles-long lines of cars waiting for food pantry distributions. Just like when Americans saw blocks-long breadlines in the Great Depression, images like these helped to make clear again that hunger is widespread and systemic, and that it can happen to anyone. And once again, in the earliest months of the pandemic, Americans demanded a governmental response. Despite a difficult political environment, we were able to use our federal safety net during the pandemic to stabilize and even reduce the number of hungry people in the U.S.
