How to feed your needs?

"Particularly concerned are food bank representatives, whose organizations have already seen huge demand during the pandemic, and are themselves being squeezed by the food inflation that's affecting the people that food banks serve.

'There’s no way to overstate how devastating this is going to be,' Silva from the California Association of Food Banks told CalMatters. 'Families are going to see a dramatic and sudden drop in their food benefits at a time when food price inflation and the cost of living in California especially is through the roof.'

Mike Altfest, Alameda County Community Food Bank's director of community engagement, says that the loss in Alameda County alone will amount to more than 3 million meals in the county per month. 'Our food bank can't make up 3.1 million meals,' Altfest said. 'It's physically impossible.'

'We're going to see a huge jump in demand,' he said. 'And I think food banks across the country are going to struggle to make this up.'"
