"The regional hunger-relief organization that supplies hundreds of food bank sites relies on hundreds of weekly volunteers (about 500 per week, ~18,500 annually) to repackage food but canceled volunteer shifts as a precaution, forcing consideration of a shift to pre-packaged, ready-to-go foods that are costlier. Staff report current supply levels are manageable but warn that continued declines in donations and volunteer capacity could leave stocks critically low." - Virginia Gewin
