Hunger remains a huge problem for working poor in northeast Ohio

4:05 PM, Nov 18, 2015

CLEVELAND - Every other Thursday, the Greater Cleveland Food Bank gives away fresh produce.

Every time, there is a line out the door at their Waterloo Road building.

“The numbers that we're seeing now are worse than they were before the recession,” said Jamie Sullivan, Vice President of External Affairs.

Even though more people are working, there are still high numbers of people who need help feeding their families, said Sullivan.

When families earn income, the amount of government food assistance they receive is reduced, often leaving them struggling to pay for food.
