Latest Hunger Report
Feeding Westchester Hunger Report #14 - Justin Alvear
In this episode of the Hunger Report, we look at the newest ALICE data for Westchester County: 41% of households in our community — nearly 156,000, the most since the study began — can’t afford the basics. A family of four with two kids in childcare needs $137,000 a year just to cover essentials, and since 2007 the cost of essentials in New York has risen 79%, while overall consumer prices rose 52%. The food bill alone costs that family $1,600 a month. When the paycheck runs short, the grocery cart is where families cut first.
