Food banks are struggling with increased demand and a decline in resources and volunteers amid the coronavirus crisis. Here's how you can help.
By Michelle Ma April 1, 2020 11:17 am ET The third installment of How You Can Help looks at how food banks across the country are handling a surge of people in need amid a diminished supply of goods, food and volunteers due to the coronavirus crisis.
Feeding America, a network of 200 food banks nationwide, for example, said 92% of its food banks reported an increased demand from people seeking help, according to results from a member survey. How to find your local food bank Many organizations have created Covid-19 resource pages on their websites listing their needs and guidance for volunteers. Consult your local food bank’s website for what support it needs.
Should I donate food or money? The best way for people to support food banks now is to donate money, said Mr. Greenfield, a point echoed by food bank leaders across the country. Donations of food, while helpful, are also time-intensive to sort, organize and repack with diminished staff. Monetary donations would also go toward defraying increased transportation costs. According to Ms. Jayroe, freight companies are charging more, anywhere from 10% to almost double pre-pandemic prices.
