Donor Ranks At Food Banks Continue To Swell

Food banks saw annual gift revenue dip for the second consecutive year during 2022 but still took in nearly double the amount given in 2019, leaving most in a healthier position than before the pandemic despite inflation, rising demand for services, and the sunsetting of COVID-era government programs.
