"Last week, we just about ran out of everything," said Noemi Sias, who operates a weekly food bank that feeds about 100 families a week at the Baldwin Park Bilingual Seventh-day Adventist Church. "The last families just got a few canned goods, a box of cereal and some chicken. But we always manage to give them something."
The Los Angeles Times food bank story this quote was taken from, covered Los Angeles and Orange Counties but if you Google titles similar to the one used in this piece, you will find numerous similar stories across the U.S.
These are hard times and food banks are struggling to meet demand especially as so many people have been out of work for so long, many of them with families to feed. If you can afford to help, please assist a food bank near you with grocery donations. Your heart will thank you and a hungry person will have something to eat in part because of you.
