The number of people living in hunger in Philadelphia has increased by 22 percent at the same time that hunger has diminished throughout America.
That finding, from a report being released Monday by Hunger Free America, a New York-based nonprofit, is the latest example of how Philadelphia diverges from the national mainstream on issues of poverty.
