FORT BRAGG, N.C. (WTVD) -- Many are struggling to make ends meet because of the pandemic even on Fort Bragg where more military families are suffering from food insecurity.
"I lost my job in July due to COVID-19," said Rachel Szabo, a military spouse.
She's been out of work for nearly five months. Szabo is the wife of a soldier with the 82nd Airborne Division. She picks up groceries monthly from Fort Bragg's Armed Services YMCA. The couple is expecting their first baby on Christmas Day.
"I've always been someone who has paid for everything myself. Paid my way through school. Paid my own student loans, which I had a ton of. That's where all my unemployment goes. It's truly one income for us," Szabo said.
While service members often fight for our country, many of their families are taking on another battle during this pandemic: keeping their families fed.
