More now than ever. They have not been able to do food drives like in the past and are discouraging people to organize them on their own due to supply chain issues. They are not currently taking new volunteers. They are getting assistance from the National Guard in packing emergency boxes and kits, so they do have labor. They mostly need help with funding to get food through their sources as they are giving out six months worth of stuff in one. (This is the big regional Foodbank type orgs.)

The local pantries may be likely to need volunteers and I have reached out to one in my area but our schedules didn’t quite sync up so for me, my best bet to be helpful for the moment is to try to raise funds. If I find myself no longer working I will reach back out to that pantry to see what I can do for them.
