    My little snapshot: Our church has a food bank once a week we run out of our basement, breads and grains and vegetables and fruits. Well run, warm people, high quality, etc. All welcome, mostly families.

    The number of folks coming has doubled in the last six months. We’ve had this location for 10 years.

    My mother-in-law runs a church foodbank and has said the same thing. Not surprising given the inflation we’ve experienced and savings from the pandemic relief checks running out. I don’t think the inflation rate slowing and people struggling

    The one my wife and I help in town has not seen a similar jump, but we live in a pretty impoverished town where it has always been high usage.
