More Than Eight Percent of Older Arizonans Face Hunger

A new report from the AARP Foundation says that nearly 9 million Americans 50 and older face the risk of hunger. This includes more than 8.6% of older Arizonans.

The Foundation announced the new research at the Meals on Wheels Association of America conference in Chicago. It is working with hunger relief organizations to combat the growing problem of hunger among older Americans.
