Houston Food Bank still in high demand almost 1 year into the COVID-19 pandemic
Pandemic has many dealing with food shortage
The Houston Food Bank is currently serving a little less than 100,000 families per week after almost a year into the COVID-19 pandemic.
HOUSTON - Now almost a year into the COVID-19 pandemic and millions of Americans are still struggling to put food on their tables. It’s like a hurricane that won’t go away, said Houston Food Bank President Brian Greene. Only, it’s a national hurricane.
According to Greene, the Houston Food Bank is currently serving a little less than 100,000 families per week. A number down from a few months ago (almost 150,000 families), but still much higher than what they consider normal (roughly 50,000 families).
