Food donors become clients as demand rises at food banks
Food banks face higher demand and lower donations with donors turning to aid programs. Northwest Harvest in Washington reports a 10 percent rise in need and 30 percent drop in donations while serving about 500 000 meals monthly. America’s Second Harvest notes a 4 percent donation rise but a 20 percent surge in demand. Some donors say financial strain prevents giving, even as charity events see fewer funds.
