According to the latest data from Feeding America, 1 in 7 people in Georgia are facing hunger.

With looming potential cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and surging prices at the grocery store, the nonprofit A Red Circle has released a national blueprint that outlines five food policy recommendations that all states, including Georgia, can follow to act on right now.

On Monday’s edition of “Closer Look,” Erica R. Williams, the executive director of A Red Circle, talked with host Rose Scott about the work of the nonprofit, the importance of combating food insecurity and the national blueprint.
