"I observed that the Ballard Food Bank has had to change its model for safety and supply reasons: recovering groceries has become challenging as everyone stocks pantries, so items like soups and chilis are harder to come by, and the operation moved from a grocery-store style food bank to a personal-shopper model and then to a pre-packed bag model, which meant neighbors received less food than they would normally select; to get more food out, the organization is also doing deliveries and drive-through distributions." - Gabe Guarente
