MADISON, Wis. — Wisconsin lawmakers visited Second Harvest Food Bank of Southern Wisconsin to hear about food insecurity as hunger-relief organizations report rising demand for assistance. During the visit, Jackie Anderson of Feeding Wisconsin read a proclamation designating Sept. 29 as Hunger Action Day. It states that more than 800,000 people in Wisconsin experience food insecurity, including nearly 250,000 children. State Sen. Sarah Keyeski, a Democrat representing the 14th Senate District, said household expenses such as housing, health care and gas can squeeze grocery budgets. When families cannot afford enough food, she said, they may need help from their communities. Feeding Wisconsin said policymakers are visiting food banks around the state to draw attention to food insecurity and the growing demand for hunger-relief services. The visit placed the issue before lawmakers at a time when food banks are asking for greater attention to the pressures facing families and the organizations helping them.
