That's according to a new study by the USDA.
Nationwide, the study found nearly 13% of households were food insecure.
That's an increase of three and a half million households from last year.
Food insecurity means families have difficulty providing enough food for all of their family members.
And Kentucky, the average is higher, with just more than 13% of households reporting food insecurity.
The CEO of God's Pantry Food Bank here in Kentucky is calling on the federal government to help combat this issue.
In a statement, Michael Halligan says, quote, The USDA report highlights the dire need for a coordinated and comprehensive approach to address food insecurity in the U.S.. We call upon Congress to keep the government open and pass strong hunger relief legislation.
Hunger relief organizations like God's Pantry Food bank cannot tackle this issue alone, and we need the support and collaboration of our government, communities and individuals to make a lasting impact.
