Hunger In America 2010

This time last year, Second Harvest Food Bank of East Tennessee employees and dedicated volunteers took to the streets to take part in the 2009-2010 Hunger Study.  During this time we interviewed hundreds of people in many food pantries, soup kitchens, and shelters.  While we were conducting our study in East Tennessee, other food banks across the nation were doing the exact same thing.  Below is a video put together by Feeding America, our national affiliate, with some of the statistics we learned during this study.  Although the statistics below are nationwide, Second Harvest Food Bank of East Tennessee received our own statistics with data directly reflecting hunger in East Tennessee.
