We have food banks in the US. Many are under heavy stress right now from what I understand. At least one food bank near me has already expressed needs for donations through local media sources.
- 3fe9a03ccd14ca5 7y agoThe sad reality is that the supply chain is all messed up and there’s weird expectations still with food banks. For example, I can’t take my 50 lb bag of rice and divide it up into 5 lb bags because of food safety issues and regulations. So rather than getting a huge shipment of some grain and doing that, they’re stuck scrounging for the small stuff. They’re also still tossing expired foods even though Best By dates are largely irrelevant.

While the food bank can’t, you and your friends can split things up. Even if you can’t, if you’re getting 500calories a day from rice for 1 person, 50lbs will run out in 6 months.
