The Center for American Progress released a report last week that estimates the cost of hunger in the United States to be over $167 billion. This cost includes avoidable illnesses and poor educational outcomes that occur as a result of food insecurity as well as the charitable donations for emergency food to address hunger.
The hunger bill for New York State is $9.28 billion which is an increase of 30.89 percent since 2007.
