In every county in Indiana, there are people wondering where their next meal is coming from. It varies from a low of 9 percent in Hamilton County up to nearly 19 percent in Marion County. The report by Feeding America reports the average county food insecurity rate in Indiana is 14 percent. It also suggests people facing hunger are falling behind as they continue to struggle. Feeding Indiana’s Hungry Executive Director Emily Weikert Bryant says the food budget shortfall has increased in the last several years, despite economic improvement.
Food-insecure individuals face an average shortfall of $15.44 per person. That’s up from last year’s $14.92 average.
