Food Bank sees worst levels of hunger in decades

Hunger in Oregon is rising rapidly, a reflection of the economic insecurity afflicting so many families.

In this episode of Policy for the People, we speak with Susannah Morgan, President of the Oregon Food Bank. As Susannah explains, the level of hunger right now is the worst that she has seen in her 28 years of working in food banks in several states.

But as she points out, neither hunger nor poverty are inevitable. They are the result of public policy choices, and we can make better policy choices.
