How to Help Food Banks in Need <br />During the Coronavirus Crisis Food banks all over the <br />U.S. are strained due to <br />the coronavirus pandemic. There are several ways <br />to help these organizations, <br />even during a lockdown. Many have resource pages on their websites <br />devoted to COVID-19 guidance. Food banks currently need <br />money donations more than food donations. But non-perishable food donations <br />are still gladly accepted. In addition, food banks are <br />encouraging younger people to volunteer <br />so that older volunteers can remain safe. Information about local <br />food banks can be accessed online by <br />entering a zip code into the Feeding America database.
