The Snohomish County food bank is experiencing a 'dire need' for more food donations and funding as demand from visitors is reaching record levels, and the likely culprit: inflation.
Food banks across the country are scrambling to meet the need for food in their communities, and the Snohomish County Food Bank Coalition is no exception. The food bank is experiencing a “dire need” for more food donations and funding as demand from visitors is reaching record levels, and the likely culprit: inflation.
“We have not seen this many people come to us for help ever, even during the height of the pandemic in 2020 or 2021,” Hatch said. “We’ve seen a 138% increase in Everett since just April, and we cannot keep up.” Another cause is donor fatigue, says Steve Corsi, President and CEO of VOAWW, which has people donating less and less. After seeing a huge increase in donations at the start of the pandemic, allowing the coalition to increase services to those that need it, that funding is drying up. Donations of food and funds are down as people, governments and businesses tighten and adjust their budgets.
