US: Grandfamilies Face Food Insecurity As Holidays Approach
LA Weekly – November 08, 2022
As we prepare to celebrate abundance, family, and food during Thanksgiving, many caregivers of children will be fretting about the evening meal as food costs soar this holiday season. A new report released by Generations United shows that children being raised by grandparents without parents in the home face hunger and food insecurity at much higher rates than their peers. According to the report, the 2.5 million children in the United States growing up in “grandfamilies” face higher rates of hunger and food insecurity. Grandfamilies are families in which children are being raised by relatives – grandparents, aunts, uncles, siblings, or close friends – without their parents in the home.
