Food banks are closing and losing their workforces
Food banks are shuttering as they struggle to contend with the coronavirus and provide food relief to millions of people.
Volunteer help has dwindled because of social distancing and a fear of contracting and spreading the disease.
To deal with the challenges brought on by the outbreak, food banks have put in place new protocols for handling and delivering food and maintaining a steady supply. But these challenges have shifted much of the burden onto food banks themselves, leading to skyrocketing operating costs and uncertainty about how long they'll be able to respond.
"There's never enough money," said philanthropist Jean Shafiroff, a board member of the New York City Mission Society, which serves children and families living at or below the poverty level.
