The Community Food Bank of Central Alabama, which serves 12 counties in the state, is moving into a larger building to accommodate the increased need.

"Food insecurity could be your next-door neighbor," says Nicole Williams, the CEO of the food bank. "When gas costs a little bit more or food costs a little bit more, or they have a repair on their car or a medical bill, that takes away what they might be using to spend on food."

The results highlight what observers have called a "K-shaped economy," with a growing divide between the haves and have-nots.

Food insecurity affects more families now than during the coronavirus pandemic, according to a new survey from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
