RSSVT Edition: Christine Foster, Melinda Bussino & Joanne Heidkamp on hunger in VT
Tuesday, 12/09/08 2:25pm
New USDA numbers out this fall rank Vermont 14th highest in the nation for hunger. Hunger affects more than 1 in 10 Vermont households - that's nearly 27,000 households that are running out of food or don't have enough food for an active and healthy life. With more layoffs and Wall Street uncertainty expected this year, area food shelves say the problem will only gotten worse.
VPR's Jane Lindholm talks with Christine Foster with the Vermont Foodbank, Melinda Bussino with the Brattleboro Area Drop In Center, and Joanne Heidkamp with the Vermont Campaign to End Childhood Hunger about the issue of hunger in Vermont.
