Local food banks are asking for help after most of their volunteer staff is being advised to stay home as a precaution while coronavirus continues to spread.

Some food banks in western Washington are dealing with a volunteer shortage.

”A lot of our volunteers are seniors and they’re staying home to avoid exposure to any possible illness so we support that,” said Colleen Martinson, the communication director for Ballard Food Bank.

Non-profits like the Ballard Food Bank said volunteers aren’t the only struggle right now, food donations are also down.
