1. Katie Fitzgerald, the Feeding America’s chief executive, said the situation was out of control given the growing number of corona. This condition can lead to a food crisis, and can be even more frightening.
2. “The big challenge is that we don’t have enough food to meet people’s demand for food,” Katie said. Currently 30% of the people need help. They had never asked for food before.
3. The Feeding America organisation is currently delivering food to the United States through 60,000 agencies. 2 lakh volunteers are helping for this.
