For nearly two years, economic fallout from the coronavirus pandemic put increased demand on food banks across the US. As the need declines, they face new problems.
"Rising cost of food and ongoing challenges with the supply chain is making it more expensive for food banks to purchase food and even move donated food across this country," said Katie Fitzgerald, chief operating officer of Feeding America, a network of over 200 food banks across the country.Low inventory, supply chain disruption, and labor shortages have created the bottleneck that contributed to increased costs for charities.
"We still have 38 million Americans who are food insecure here in this country."Fitzgerald says many food banks are now forced to find ways to stretch donations, including smaller portion sizes or food substitutions."We're remaining very guarded and preparing to make sure that those 38 million Americans who are continuing to struggle with food insecurity have the support that they need moving forward.
