COVID Leaves Thousands Unable to Feed Families

COVID has caused many to lose their jobs, impacting their financial stability. Many have to decide what they are able to pay for each week, one of those difficult decisions being if they can afford groceries or not. Food banks have been a life saver for thousands of families across the nation, providing them with food and relief knowing that they and their children don't have to go hungry. I have found my way in those long lines a few times, never thinking in my life before 2020 that I would need this kind of assistance. But, here we are, in my family some of us lost our jobs or were out of work for a long time. We are going to be facing the financial repercussions of COVID for a very long time. But, food banks like these have helped my family and many others alike worry about one less thing during these trying times.
