Many veterans struggling with food insecurity

This Thanksgiving, one in nine working-age veterans is facing food insecurity, according to Feeding America. 

Of the thousands of veterans surveyed by Yale School of Medicine's Veterans Aging Cohort Study, 24% reported being food insecure. 

The U.S. Department of Agriculture defines food insecurity as "a household-level economic and social condition of limited or uncertain access to adequate food."

"Veterans come to us because they're overcharged on their credit cards, cars are being repossessed, they're being foreclosed on, or they're being evicted from their homes," retired Air Force Lt. Col. and America's Warrior Partnership (AWP) CEO Jim Lorraine told Fox News Digital. "It's the economy."
