The Rainier Valley Food Bank in Seattle is finding it harder to get enough food to meet demand each week, especially with inflation. It's resorting to new methods.
Reynolds said he didn't know how long they could keep up. "I have some concerns about getting the resources we need at prices that we can afford."Nationwide, food bank donations are down 20% from last year.
"With all of the chronic disruptions in food supply chain and the high price of fuel and labor associated with transporting donated food, we have seen a serious decline," said Feeding America Chief Government Relations Officer Vince Hall.
