Throughout the 2012 presidential campaign, the BBC has
returned to Levittown, Pennsylvania to explore issues facing America's middle
class.
At a basement food pantry in suburban Pennsylvania, 2,000lb
(907kg) of food are given to roughly 160 families a week.
The majority of families come from the Levittown
neighbourhoods - an iconic planned suburb that once ushered in the era of a
post-World War II American dream.
But times have changed and even in quiet, leafy suburbs
families now struggle with the basic needs of food and shelter. The number of
residents using food pantries has risen dramatically over the past few years
throughout the county.
Even those who have jobs can still find the cost of living
is too high to make ends meet, as the BBC's David Botti reports.
