Episode Synopsis

Stuart McMillian reports on the growing food crisis at Gateway Food Pantry in Arnold. With food supplies down $300,000 from last year, the pantry now serves up to 250 families, many with school-aged children. Inflation and the Boeing strike have added strain, bringing 25 new families in just two weeks. The pantry has quadrupled its food budget and launched a campaign distributing 20,000 empty bags to raise awareness. Donations of child-friendly foods are urgently needed to help ensure no hungry family is turned away.
