Some 33 million people in the U.S. live in households that aren't sure where their next meals are coming from--those whom policy analysts call the food insecure. Food pantries, shelters, soup kitchens, and other emergency food providers now serve at least 23 million people a year. "They are America's dirty little secret," says Larry Brown, who directs Brandeis University's Center on Hunger and Poverty. "They are hardworking have-nots who cannot pay the rent, medical bills, and still feed their families." Trudy Lieberman, “Hungry in America” (2003)
