For years now, and especially since the beginning of the pandemic, more and more people have been using emergency food services, such as workers who have seen their incomes drop or people who have become isolated due to their age or health condition (disability, mental health problem, etc.). Even the middle class is losing purchasing power year after year. However, food is not the only thing that has increased in price, as people also have to find money in their budgets to cope with higher costs of housing, transportation, and other essentials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
