Food pantries see higher demand during holiday season, expect more demand to come in 2023

Food pantries like the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank say they have been busier than anticipated this holiday season. It’s a situation that Executive Director Joe Arthur calls a ‘quieter hunger crisis.’ “This is really a hunger crisis," said Arthur. “The only time we saw a higher need in the 40-year history of the Food Bank, was during the peak of the pandemic.” Arthur attributes higher demand to ongoing inflation that is impacting family finances, and lingering disruptions in the job market. https://www.fox43.com/article/news/lo...
