This is the Home House of Erie, a food pantry that gives out food three mornings a week in a neighbourhood on the edge of Erie, Pennsylvania.

At the back of the queue, Megan pushes her 18 month-old daughter in a pram while trying to wrangle her three-year-old twins, who are still in their pyjamas. Her five other children are at school.

"I come almost every time they're open," says 31-year-old Megan, who is unemployed and single. "It's a lot of good nutritious food in here."

Inside the house, which is laid out like a supermarket, she will pick up fruit, vegetables, meat, bread and other staples.
