Inflation is bad. The cold weather is moving in. It's getting darker. Tough times, it seems, are everywhere you look. For the hungry, it's even more difficult. Food banks across the Puget Sound and the nation are having trouble keeping up with the demand.
Inflation is bad. The cold weather is moving in. It’s getting darker. Tough times, it seems, are everywhere you look. For the hungry, it’s even more difficult.“Food banks are reporting deep declines in donated food,” Thomas Reynolds, CEO ofNorthwest Harvest supports a statewide network of more than 300 food banks, meal programs, and schools in need.
Food Lifeline said its strategic goal is to feed people who “are experiencing hunger today and solve the issue of hunger for tomorrow.”“Right now in Washington state, members of food-insecure households are increasing rapidly and we’ve seen that since February and March of this year,” Reynolds explained.
“With more than 1 million people facing food insecurity in western Washington right now, we are seeing our network stretched in the same way we did at the peak of the pandemic, with huge lines and not enough food to meet the need,” Scott said.“That also coincided with a spike in inflation. Also, the global food supply shortage IS affected mostly by conflict and climate change,” Reynolds said.
