Stockpiles of canned goods and pasta at the Capital Area Food Bank warehouse will be shipped to food banks across the region before Thanksgiving. Since the federal government slashed pandemic-era food assistance in March, Tahjae Pitt has been skimping on laundry. “I’ve got three bags of dirty clothes because I had to spend money on groceries,” said Pitt, 26, a single mother in Southeast D.C. “I had to make sure my son had food.” “We are seeing unprecedented demand,” said Jackie DeCarlo, chief executive of Manna Food Center, a nonprofit food distribution center in Montgomery County. Manna provided meals to 5,781 families last month, DeCarlo said, eclipsing its monthly high during the pandemic by about 1,000. Food for Others, a food bank in Fairfax County, has distributed 30 percent more food this year than last year, serving about 200 to 250 people daily, development and communications coordinator Hannah Brockway said.
