The Victory Home: 
Food


Poster:  Help Bring Them Back to You! Make Yours a Victory Home!
Food and its availability became a major theme of home front life. Food was needed to feed our soldiers, but it was also needed to supply our allies, who had already been fighting for several years. Rationing was begun to assure fair access to essentials, but shortages still prevailed. Families were urged to grow as much of their own food as possible, to free up supplies for others.
