NPR's Ailsa Chang talks with Desire La-Marr Murphy, founder and CEO of Murphy's Giving Market in the Philly area, about Biden's goal for ending hunger in America.
Hunger is a big problem in the U.S. Government figures show that in 2020, more than 38 million Americans faced food insecurity. President Biden is hosting the first White House Conference on Hunger in 50 years, and earlier today, he announced his goal for ending hunger in America.
LA MARR-MURPHY: So many food banks and food pantries in the area were closing because many of them are run by senior citizens, who were most vulnerable during the COVID pandemic. And many of them are inside of buildings and churches and community centers who had to shut down. And me and my family and friends came together and decided that we can't let that happen. People needed access to food at the most vulnerable time.
CHANG: Oh, my God. Well, thank God for people like you. I understand that Murphy's Giving Market provides more than just food now, right? Like, what else do you help people with? CHANG: Yeah. I am wondering, are you seeing more people coming to you to ask for help compared to even just last year?
