Food Demand Rises as Salvation Army Donations Drop

Food demand is rising as Salvation Army donations are dropping. In 2010 many people in the U.S. went to the social-service organization to find help with food. Unfortunately, about two-thirds of the locations had a decrease in both food and money contributions.

At least 94 percent of Salvation Army food service programs had an increase in food requests, and it is becoming much harder for the group to help fulfill those needs. The new clients include middle class families as well as the working poor because so many in the U.S. are unemployed or underemployed after the Great Recession.US NEWS PAPER
