“We go to clients to find out what’s putting them in a line to need emergency food services, and we hear ‘rising rent and expenses’ every day. … When unemployment is really low, people think hunger goes away, and it doesn’t; it’s actually really high still. … People just aren’t able to make enough to make ends meet.”
— Jocelyn Lantrip, the Food Bank of Northern Nevada’s director of marketing and communications
