Nearly 40 million Americans were enrolled in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in February. That's a rise of 8 million Americans since December 2008. SNAP anticipates another 4 million Americans joining the rolls in fiscal 2011.
Hunger is basic. While this is a lagging indicator, I won't feel good about any economic recovery until this number starts to come down.
