Everybody knows food prices have shot up in the past year. The average person likely isn’t very happy when they go to a supermarket and see the price of staples such as bread, eggs, milk and meat as compared to a year, six months, or even a couple of months ago.

But families who were financially insecure, living paycheck to paycheck even before inflation became a major issue are more than unhappy – they’re desperate enough to seek help.

An example can be found at the Greater Tuckerton Food Pantry.
