with hunger and food insecurity.

 SAN DIEGO (AP) -This is a problem that’s been in the making for years in one of the largest and most well-funded institutions on the planet and has only increased since the outbreak of coronavirus.  walmart kid motorcycles klamath boats livingston boats onslow bay boats tuffy boats chevy truck legends todds motorcycles prime motorcycles fire truck siren advanced auto orileys key covers elliott craigslist wilmington nc More than 160,000 active-duty military members are having trouble taking care of their families.

 Feeding America coordinates more than 200 food banks across America. This figure shows how food insecurity has impacted all aspects of American society, including the military.

 Due to lack of scientific research, it’s an open question about the extent of the issue. However, some activists believe it has existed for years and primarily affects junior-level enlisted service members from E1 to E4 in the military terminology and children.

 “It’s an unsettling fact that’s acknowledged by a number of food banks across the United States,” said Vince Hall, Feeding America’s public relations manager. “This is a cause of some deep embarrassment.”

 “It is what it is,” said James Bohannon, 34, a Naval E4 (petty officer third class) living in San Diego who relies on food assistance to keep his two daughters eating.

 When he was done with a drive-thru food distribution organised by the local Armed Services YMCA, he claimed that he knew exactly what you’re signing up for in military.” “But I’ll tell you the truth. It’s really difficult.”

 In addition to the low pay for junior enlisted ranks the constant changes that come with military life make it difficult for spouses of military to secure stable employment. Many are afraid to talk about their struggles due to the culture of self-sufficiency in the military.

 “It’s one of the things that people in the American citizens don’t understand however it’s part of course among military members. This is something we know,” stated Sen. Tammy Duckworth of Illinois, a Democrat and former Blackhawk pilot who was both injured in a helicopter accident in Iraq. “We’re the strongest military on the earth and yet those who are at the bottom of our ranks — especially if they’re married and have a child , or two — they’re hungry. How can you remain focused on the mission while also defending our freedoms? Are you concerned about whether your child will be eating dinner tonight?

 Meredith Knopp, CEO of the food bank located in St. Louis and an Army veteran, said the problem is widespread across all military branches. She recalled as an officer at the age of 18 in Texas being approached by a private with an infant.

 “They were in the process of turning off his electricity because he couldn’t pay his bills,” she said. It was shocking to me.

 Perhaps the best way to gauge how deeply the problem is rooting itself is the fact that a robust group of military-related charities such as the Armed Services YMCA or Blue Star Families have created an network of food banks that are close to major military bases.

For Brooklyn Pittman, whose husband, Matthew, is in the Navy moving to California from West Virginia this year was a financial shock.

 She explained, “We had some savings before we moved to the United States and it was tough.” “We still had student debts and everything on top.”

 The savings quickly vanished and the small amount she earned from dog-sitting couldn’t even pay for the deficit. For a while, the couple considered sleeping in their car at the property until their next pay day.

 Pittman was one of 320 families participating in the Armed Service YMCA’s October drive-thru food distribution. This event was being held for more than ten years. But, the organization extended its operation from to 11 locations across the nation when the pandemic struck. The amount of events that are held in San Diego has been doubled.
