I believe that poverty and hunger are a major issue in New Mexico. I think it is one of the many states that I've lived in that has the most people I've ever seen living in poverty and on the streets. I feel that this is a major issue due to the fact that the government does not provide enough resources to feed and shelter those who suffer from poverty and hunger. I have discovered that New Mexico has very little organizations that can give food to those who are poor or have nothing like the food pantry for instance. People are also limited in getting food stamps or welfare. Resources are limited today for those who suffer from poverty and hunger. The government should take drastic measures to try and resolve the entire poverty and hunger issue because it is a major problem around the world that needs to be resolved.
