How to Help Food Banks in Need
During the Coronavirus Crisis Food banks all over the
U.S. are strained due to
the coronavirus pandemic. There are several ways
to help these organizations,
even during a lockdown. Many have resource pages on their websites
devoted to COVID-19 guidance. Food banks currently need
money donations more than food donations. But non-perishable food donations
are still gladly accepted. In addition, food banks are
encouraging younger people to volunteer
so that older volunteers can remain safe. Information about local
food banks can be accessed online by
entering a zip code into the Feeding America database.
