We continue to monitor the development of COVID-19 and we’re taking proactive steps to protect the neighbors we serve, our Food Bank team, and our supporters. As the situation continues to rapidly evolve, our priority remains focused on providing food and resources to those in need — a demand we anticipate will increase over the coming months.

The Food Bank and our network of hunger-relief organizations are committed to making sure all of our neighbors have access to enough food during the COVID-19 (coronavirus) crisis.

You can call your Senators and ask them to support the Families First Coronavirus Act. The bill includes $400M for TEFAP food and storage and distribution, expansion of SNAP benefits, and flexibility for programs – which all represent an important first step in helping our network manage the immediate needs of our communities.
