The scene at area food giveaways plays out much the same regardless of the location lines form hours ahead of time and the food inevitably runs out.
That happened in Beardstown on Nov. 21 when the Central Illinois Foodbank teamed with Mount Sterling-based Dot Food Inc. Because of traffic volume, the giveaway started an hour early and led foodbank partner resource coordinator Sarah Bermingham to surmise that no matter how much food it brings, we seem to always run out. I think definitely it is a reminder of the situation we re in, said Beth Wakefield, the foodbank s public relations manager. With everything that s gone on this past year, some of the things that we have faced have been magnified by the pandemic. I would say food insecurity is one of them.
