This year, many first-time visitors received the food they needed to help them through the month at the Greater Fall River Community Food Pantry. More households than ever need more food than they can access or afford. Food insecurity, the lack of access to enough food for an active, healthy life due to limited financial resources, has increased sharply in the United States over the past several years as pandemic programs ended and grocery prices continued to rise. You can make the difference between hunger and help.
