These shelters, which provide critical refuge and support to women and children fleeing abuse, are finding it increasingly difficult to afford basic necessities like food. This issue highlights a broader problem of food insecurity exacerbated by economic pressures, raising concerns about the sustainability and effectiveness of these essential services during a time when support is more needed than ever.
