Mainers without enough food jumped by more than 40% over the past year, report finds

Hunger Free America found that nearly 66,000 Mainers didn't have enough food over a weeklong period in October. The group attributes much of the increase to inflation, as well as the expiration of the expanded federal child tax credit.
