August 20, 2024Roger That Podcast Ep 22: Increased food insecurity is affecting Hoosier Heroes
If you’ve been to the grocery store lately, you’ve likely experienced a little sticker shock at the cash register. Or maybe you’ve been stressed about affording rent due to cost of living going up, or deciding to hold off on buying a home due to the record highs for interest rates. We’ve all experienced the struggles of inflation these last few years, and it’s affected us all in different ways. For a lot of Hoosier Heroes, they’re facing food insecurity. On this episode of Roger That, we’ll share more about the increased food insecurity rates in Indiana and how Gleaners & HVAF partner together to feed those who are hungry.
