Biden's America: Food banks are already worried about fall, winter — some families may not have turkeys this year

Fox News Digital spoke to Katie Fitzgerald, president and COO of Feeding America, on Friday by phone to discuss what the organization is seeing — and she described "a perfect storm" of situations that are making things extremely challenging in terms of meeting the demands of the food insecure in this country.

Today, "it's driven largely by inflationary pressures," she said. "We don't see the root causes in terms of food insecurity [being] the same as when the economy essentially was shut down [amid the COVID pandemic] — that was more driven by people losing their income."

Instead, right now, "it's simply that people are having to make economic tradeoffs. And what they're having to cut is their food, when everything's so much more expensive."

"We're very worried that if we don't start to get relief in terms of the increased price of food and other costs in this country, it's going to be a very difficult fall and winter and holiday season.
