SUMMARY: Food insecurity is escalating in South Florida, where rising grocery prices leave many families struggling to afford meals. Feeding South Florida reports that approximately one million people from Palm Beach to the Keys are unsure of their next meal. Despite appearances of stocked shelves, donations to food banks like SOS Pantry in Key West are significantly declining. More individuals, including those with jobs, are seeking assistance. SOS CEO Tom Callahan notes the demand for services is up, while traditional sources of food donations are dwindling. Feeding South Florida is now purchasing food to meet needs and urges for increased donations.
