How do you feed your family when the cost of groceries keeps climbing, but your paycheck doesn’t?

In Harlem, Monique has learned to stretch every dollar, every meal, and every ounce of energy to keep food on the table for her children. But when the price of basic groceries rivals the cost of a utility bill, the choice between eating and keeping the lights on becomes painfully real.

In this episode, Monique shares how the Food Bank for New York City—one of Robin Hood’s grantee partners—helps her family bridge that gap. Her story offers a human portrait of food insecurity in New York: a city of abundance where far too many still go hungry, and where every full plate comes at a price.
