“High prices will continue to drive more and more of our neighbors to food banks and food pantries as we enter the winter season,” Katie Fitzgerald, president and COO of Feeding America, a Chicago-based nonprofit that aims to stamp out hunger in the U.S., said in a statement. As such, food banks are also feeling the crunch. “The problem we’ve seen this year is food banks are also struggling with higher food prices as more and more people need their help each month,” Fitzgerald said.
Supplies, however, have fallen as record-high inflation has impacted food donations from grocery stores to wholesalers. Akron Canton Regional Foodbank in Ohio saw 19% fewer donations compared to the same time last year, ABC News reported this week. The facility’s 4,000-square-foot cooler is typically full of food, the outlet reported, but currently has many empty shelves.
