Hunger predominantly affects children from low-income families…

One commonly used metric to assess poverty is the federal poverty level, which is established by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. This level represents the minimum annual income required by a family to cover essential necessities like food, clothing, shelter, and transportation.

In 2021, the federal poverty level stood at $26,500 for a family of four. It’s important to note that this figure serves as a baseline, as even families earning twice that amount are often classified as low-income by experts, and many of them encounter difficulties in meeting their financial needs.

When examining the prevalence of poverty in the United States, 2020 data from the U.S. Census Bureau reveals that 37 million Americans, or 11.4% of the population, lived below the poverty line. Among them, 12 million were children. While this number is alarmingly high for a country with substantial wealth, it had been on a declining trend in recent years. However, the onset of the coronavirus pandemic imposed significant challenges on already-struggling households, and the full extent of its impact is still uncertain.

For a more comprehensive insight into food insecurity, we suggest referring to the USDA’s annual report on Household Food Security in the United States.
