"Right now, even basic necessities are a question. Most of the time, it’s either food or bills...without this help, we wouldn’t eat half of the time.” -April
Here at the Food Bank, we continue to see record increases in the number of neighbors in need of food assistance.
Many of them, like April, have found themselves forced to choose between buying groceries or covering other basic expenses. Food Bank programs and partner food pantries are here to ensure they still have access to healthy, nutritious meals.
We are so thankful to those who support our work to make that happen, like @ConagraBrands Foundation who recently awarded us a grant through @FeedingAmerica to help us meet the increased need.
