A middle class group of Region Hoosiers are having to face something they thought they'd never see--having no money for food. The Salvation Army of Lake County Indiana says longer periods of unemployment and a high jobless rate in conjunction with a seasonal low in donations are creating a heavy demand for food relief as this group is now joining their regulars for food assistance. With requests for help coming in at a steady pace, the Salvation Army says it is simply running out of food and is asking the community for donations for non perishable food items as well as meat.
