Associations Between Socio-demographic Characteristics of Food Pantry Clients and Foods Received from Baltimore City Food Pantries (P04-030-19)

摘要

ObjectivesThe current economic climate across the United States has resulted in a large number of people being reliant on food pantries for long-term, rather than emergency, food assistance. As a result, there is a growing need to evaluate the nutritional quality of foods obtained by food pantry clients, and the factors influencing their selections. We examine the associations between socio-demographic characteristics of food pantry clients, and the healthfulness of foods they receive from food pantries in Baltimore City, Maryland.
