Coronavirus Precautions Make Feeding Food-Insecure Seniors a Challenge | Eater
"A Seattle food bank that typically feeds about 1,200 people per week (roughly 26% aged 55+) experienced a roughly 30% decrease in in-person shopping and moved from a grocery-store model to handing out pre-packed bags to preserve social distancing and make volunteers more comfortable. As some older volunteers step back, younger volunteers have been stepping up, but the organization faces additional strain from reduced grocery-recovery donations as the general public stocks up." - Virginia Gewin
