Hunger can happen for several reasons
The West Texas Food Bank lists the following reasons for hunger in our area:
Rising costs of living and housing, especially for those who are disabled or on a fixed income - many households have to choose between paying for food and paying their rent or mortgage
A family health crisis not covered by health insurance - many households have to choose between paying for food and paying for medicine or medical care
Seniors unexpectedly raising grandchildren
The untimely death of a family's primary income-earner
A single parent rearing their children after a broken marriage
Food 2 Kids Big Spring steps in to help these families by providing a weekend food sack for children while they are away from school and may live in a food insecure home.
