Massachusetts has seen an increase in child hunger, while families struggle with stalled pandemic aid and the holidays approaching. The head of the Greater Boston Food Bank tells NBC News’ Cynthia McFadden that they have never seen need “so pervasive.”

Child Hunger Increases And More Massachusetts Families Relying On Food Banks | NBC Nightly News
Hey Trump, are we great yet?
@A A congress is still getting their checks, stop fighting with your fellow countrymen and fight our corrupt politicians, united we stand divided we fall
@A A ya mine to he friends of the courts they stole mine to.
@Eric Vahl HECK YEAH ✊
@Chris McRae both are, not just one BOTH
I wonder why lol keep pushing fear and hysteria expecting a mask will save you from a virus let alone hunger and unemployment every news site has a agenda nothing but fear mongering. Who’s fact checking the fact checkers? wake tf up
What is really sad is the majority of American parents don’t know how to cook healthy cheap meals. Burgers and fries. Give me a break.
Definitely agree. As a single mom of 2 young boys for many years, I never had much to spend on food, every dollar mattered and we ate very little processed food. It seems like we have a generation or two that need to know what “staples” are…I do feel for people out of work or who have lost income due to covid/not being able to work. It has hit many Americans very hard.
Thank you for including how to help!
I saw a newer Mercedes and Audi in line for food.
@NICK GEHRZ they are suffering too no jobs
Koh yes

oh wow
Republicans do not care about humans.
Do you think where is this money come from ? To give to charity then give to these people. Most of this money is from small businesses and some rich people. Most of small business and some rich people are republican.
@tamoon sonalin 🤦🏻♂️
I wonder how many of these people just keep having kids like how does a guy and woman take care of five kids when the man makes 15 dollars a hour
Nobody wants to confront this aspect of reality. Responsibility for ones life choices seems to be a thing of the distant past. Couples who can barely support themselves just keep pumping out kids without any consideration of the financial difficulties. On top of that, ever since society started paying mothers to be breeders, it’s been a very popular choice for single mothers. They date Mr. Bad Boy, have a kid, deadbeat leaves and so the single mom starts finding more guys to get knocked up and have more kids to get more money from government. When those kids grow up, they follow moms lead and it becomes a never ending cycle and a major burden on tax dollars.
@MotoAtheist Totally true. Alot of those Breeders sure have really nice Tattoos.
Because their religion tells them to multiply, and tells them that condoms cause abortions, etc etc etc. I’m sure that self-righteous faithful of all creeds agree. Yeah… the sanctity of life for hypocrites ends when the kid is born. So stfu.
@MotoAtheist there’s a correlation between teen pregnancy, autism, and wrong way driving in the US
Poverty By Design. Problem Reaction Solution. There are a handful of trillionaire elites that could literally fill the bellies of EVERY person on this entire planet with nutritious food that would provide wonderful health and energy, but that would lead to “overpopulation”… Warren Buffet and Bill Gates fund basically EVERYTHING that’s used to corrupt the human soul, and VACCINES AREN’T A SYMBOL OF HEALTH! Especially an experimental mRNA vaccine that’s never been rolled out before EVER
Trump doesn’t care.
Why should he, he’s rich
The USA will never help end starvation. Not as long as a republican holds office.
Really? Why do you depend on government to take care of your kid? I feel bad for people who lost their jobs through this pandemic. Most of responsibility to take care your children is you not government. If you can not take care of them you shouldn’t make them to the world, also government didn’t make you to have those children or made these children with you.
@tamoon sonalin I don’t know maybe because they tax our paychecks.
No, it will never end with either party.
Clearly you are kidding?? Why do you expect others to feed you??
@Pjtj56 98% of the ppl I see using an EBT card wear MAGA hats🤷🏻♂️🤣
We need the stimulus checks!!!!! Go Bernie!!!! Bed there for us!!!!!
Nancy refuses to give us peasants a few bread crumbs.
No Stimulus Checks.
…Merry Christmas from Nancy UGLYosi & B!+ch “3 Chins” McConnell!
Em McConnell could pass it by himself lol but he cba
@John Hayes …I just looked up that term, & you’re right.
Trump said, Make America Great Again. More like “Made America Hungry Again”☹️😤
Lol. Not trump’s fault you misinformed clown
@j m144 Well, if Trump took the pandemic control task seriously, then this won’t happen
It’s a Democratic run state!!!! With the Dems in charge of the country it can only get worse😥
But yet the most important thing is Republican calling Biden president.
One person, Mitch
The whole GOP is to blame, they walk in lockstep
Nah this is all Nancy and the corrupt Democrats
House controls the purse 👛 but senate confirms
Yoh yes

oh wow
Make america Hungry again 😂🤪🏌️♂️
I am hurting hungry 😫 me and my kids
Get a job,, or another one.
Do you have a GoFundMe page?
@NICK GEHRZ ever been unemployed, willing to work, and no ones hiring? Having to choose between rent or food? Have some compassion.
@Deirdre Morris
¹Thank you!
@The Great Spirit I have a P.O.box
In the richest country…
Bums in every country.
Thank your government for the hunger your family is going through. There more worried about their stock market Then carrying about the American family’s .
That’s why it is so important that Georgians vote to flip those seats! The incoming administration will see to it that NO child goes to bed hungry during this pandemic. It’s a disgrace how the current administration has failed the people. They do seem to have plenty of time for golfing, decorating and holiday parties/gatherings…
God bless you people
I am so sad seeing this all over. I gave my stimulus check waaay back when to 4 different food banks. But they need so much more. Thank you to all who help
That was very generous!
You’re an amazing person!❤
oh yes
https://youtu.be/zFJ2AN_CZH8
oh wow
These Republicans don’t give a f…k about kids for 4 months now…
I donated $5. It’s not a lot, but maybe together, it might become more.
Yes, agreed. I live in a community where so many contribute to others who are hurting and many people working together can really meet other’s needs.
Hey. Sometimes thats all one has. You give from the heart and from sacrifice.
Goh yes
https://youtu.be/zFJ2AN_CZH8
oh wow
Too bad greedy Trump isn’t using any of his funds to help.
Grateful I live in the uk, protest for gods sake. They work for you, not the other way.
Nannystate sheep.
How much are Americans going to put up with? Look what is happening in India. We are complacent.
Did BEzoS or the Murdoch’s donate anything to charity?
Why do you feel the need to take what isn’t yours?
Gotta go back to growing your own food people
Aren’t farmers throwing away perfectly good food? Why can’t we just give those to people for free? What good will it do for all that food to be rotting away?
Because they don’t want to get sued in case they get food poisoning. Restaurants don’t even want to do that with homeless people and they eat out of trashcans.
Because it’s not labeled or packaged for consumer retail. You can’t just shift the entire food supply chain. Perhaps Americans shouldn’t have depended on restaurants and value cooking. In 2016, for the first time in history restaurants outsold grocery stores – this should be terrifying.
Now the Americans can empatize with many 3rd world country childrens who had gone hungry many days and the refugee’s not if their doing though, so in future they will donate towards these people when you r stable on your feet
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
‘This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit. Because Joseph her husband was faithful to the law, and yet did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly.
But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus,because he will save his people from their sins.”
All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” (which means “God with us”).
When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife. But he did not consummate their marriage until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus.’
-Matthew 1
It is pathetic an sad the worlds riches nation on earth in all of history can feed its own .yet we send money overseas .to aid others starving.Afghanistan pentsgon budget is what.?????.
Publish Hunter’s email!
Yeah, that will really feed hungry children. 🙄 GTFO
Those phony emails that Bannon and Guiliani concocted have been thoroughly debunked bud. Didn’t you notice how the current regime dropped that farce right after they lost the election?
y’all better stop relying on them people
Hopefully the pandemic can get controlled ASAP🙏
Where is Trump ⁉️
Nowhere to be seen
Hey congress have you taken $1 out of your pockets to help these people?
Wow, I feel for these people. But, a lot of them surprisingly are carrying a lot of weight. Might be healthier for their hearts if they slim down. I’m not saying for the kids, they are still growing. But for adults fasting is good.
Junk food is often cheaper than healthy options. You can be overweight and have nutrition deficiencies.
Corporate America Millions upon millions and families are starving. Smh
Starving?
“Food Insecurity”…using nicer word does not make this feel nicer. Children are starving in a 1st world country. You got to be kidding me…have some decency and use the tax money for those kids at least. I don’t think any taxpayers would be disagreeing on feeding hungry children with their tax money. We already fed too many greedy adults. And to those who can’t afford kids, stop popping babies out!
Children are starving? How many?
Maybe the solution isn’t to have more food but to have less children 🙂
@Trevor Sole The “nation” isn’t responsible for feeding its people. Get a job and work.
@Trevor Sole you don’t want to hear this, but some women purposely have multiple kids and put themselves in this situation for the soul purpose of being able to collect benefits and additional benefits. Nobody is saying to limit the amount of kids they have, but common sense should tell you that raising a kid is a major responsibility and an expensive one, too. A child should be relying on the parent and not the government. Correct, there is no reason someone should be going hungry…….but we have every program known to man to ensure that doesn’t happen.
@Mr. White it’s not as simple as it once was to get welfare just for pumping out some kids
Y’all have no problem dolling out trillions in welfare to corporations, subsidizing the starvation wages they pay their employees, and wasting more trillions on endless wars… but feeding hungry children is the problem huh?
@Trevor Sole exactly
McConnell doesn’t want the emergency fund of 1200dlrs or more for us regular people…he rather let us starve and give it to small business…hello, because of his choices over 100,000 small businesses are gone for good…the last so called stimulus gave large corporation not small businesses 60million does and guess what?? Trump/Kushner organization got 10million dlrs cause of McConnell and they already and still have jobs??? Why???
Bernie Sanders is and always will be fighting for us…thank you bernie!
We need to protest congress cause of our food insecurity…they are using our tax dlrs for what???
This stupid food drive was taxpayer funded.
Ok, I’m watching this on my phone, how can I scan the code?
We must prioritize vaccinating the people infected in hospitals as well as those professionals tending their needs…the sick must be fisr y as to stop the virus on its tract to prevent the spreading.
Don’t donate, republicans says they are doing just fine
a nice news is through of Jesuchrist you are saved believe in he for faith in your heart in the place where you are
he is the way to heaven read in the holy bible st john 14 : 6 , romans 10 : 13 , acts 4 : 12 🌿🌷🙏
It is so hard to watch my hometown make the national newscast for this reason. I just broke down in tears.
LITERALLY. I live in Randolph and I had no idea just how big of an issue this was here
Are people dying? Is everybody emaciated?
Trump’s 136 special powers if state of national emergency declared; Will Julian Assange be pardoned? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFM8PYkmUZE
Yet they let China buy food from all over the world, thats capitalism for you, everything is for sale for the right price.
In a country that sprouted a large number of millionaires and billionaires, this sad, hardship story should not be the trend now. It’s sickening and it’s a tragedy.
Nobody is going hungry in the US.
And we were told there’d be breadlines under Biden…
I hope you guys get the biggest blessing 🙏🏾 nobody should be hungry especially babies
It’s not that we can’t feed the poor, we can’t satisfy the rich!😒
What a surprise aren’t you Democrats all for the great reset? How come all of you all voted for a racist Rich privileged old white male? Clearly locking down the country has nothing to do with the virus. I don’t believe a word any of you people say.
BEWARE of the teachers of the law. They like to walk around with flowing robes and love to be greeted with respect in the markeplaces, and have the most important seats in the synagogue, and the places of honor at banquets. They devour widows’houses and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will be punished most severely.
COME OUT OF HER!!!
So that you will not share with her sins, and you will not receive any of her plagues, because her sins are piled up to Heaven and God has remembered her crimes.
As a thief is disgraced when he is caught,
so the people of Israel are disgraced—
they, their kings and their officials,
their priests and their prophets.
They say to wood, ‘You are my father,’
and to stone, ‘You gave me birth.’
They have turned their backs to me
and not their faces;
yet when they are in trouble, they say,
‘Come and save us!’
Where then are the gods you made for yourselves?
Let them come if they can save you
when you are in trouble!
For you, Judah, have as many gods
as you have towns.
Why do you bring charges against me?
You have all rebelled against me,”
declares the Lord.
In vain I punished your people;
they did not respond to correction.
If you, Israel, will return,
then return to me,”
declares the Lord.
If you put your detestable idols out of my sight
and no longer go astray,
and if in a truthful, just and righteous way
you swear, ‘As surely as the Lord lives,’
then the nations will invoke blessings by him
and in him they will boast.
This is what the Lord says to the people of Judah and to Jerusalem:
Break up your unplowed ground
and do not sow among thorns.
Circumcise yourselves to the Lord,
circumcise your hearts,
you people of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem,
or my wrath will flare up and burn like fire
because of the evil you have done—
burn with no one to quench it.
i dont see any africans in africa queuing for food
Look at your neighbor. Are the supporting Republicans? Could be a thing.
Nice. USSR style.
There are so many super wealthy people in this country. WHY DONT THEY HELP???? WHY????
SHAME ON AMERICA.
I hope American people learned don’t wasting any food in the future
