As Americans shelter at home, everyday shopping habits have changed, perhaps permanently, with online grocery sales way up, and department stores struggling to survive.

The Labor Department's latest report says roughly 3.8 million Americans filed for unemployment last week.

Charities are struggling to find new ways to help record numbers of Americans who are out of work during the pandemic, adding to the millions who already experience food insecurity.
