If you are in a situation where you can donate nonperishable foods or hygiene products, organizers say that they need your donations and that now is the time to give — anticipating that inflation is here to stay for an unforeseeable amount of time.
– Rapidly rising rents, high gas prices and the high cost of food are just some of the reasons locals have hit hard times.
“We’re seeing lots of new faces, people, with nicer cars, people not used to looking for help, but with the way gas has gone up, it’s all gone up,” said Karen McCants, a supervisor at the Max Block Food Pantry. Consumers are paying more for everything, confirmed by this week’s Consumer Price Index increase.In the more narrow category of energy, it’s even worse. Costs exploded almost 42% in the past year — the largest jump in 42 years.
“The inflation we’re seeing is due to the pandemic and is due to the war. And we’re not done with this pandemic,” said White House economic adviser Cecilia Rouse. “We’re now seeing China is under threat of lockdown again. While we have made great progress on many aspects of the supply chain, we’re not done with this pandemic.”
