COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio food banks are reporting a surge in demand amid concerns about growing food insecurity and what it may signal for the overall U.S. economy.
"Right now we're running 47% higher in '23 than we did, you know, a year ago," said Matt Habash, CEO of Mid-Ohio Food Collective."And I thought it would drop after the pandemic."
"They were like, 'You need to shop.' I didn't know that it was like that. I feel like that's the first reaction is, 'I'm embarrassed to ask for help,'" Kayla told ABC News' Alex Presha. The Mid-Ohio Food Collective and its partner agencies had the highest number of people walk through their doors in March — more than 141,000 people, the organization said.
