  • Apr. 3, 2009 -- MESA, AZ: KATRINA HALL, her husband, TIM HALL and their son, ZANE HALL, from Tempe, AZ, choose baked goods at the United Food Bank in Mesa, AZ. Hall said he drives a tourist bus but as the tourism and leisure industry has suffered in the recession his work in disappearing and in March he only work five days.  A spokesperson for the United Food Bank in Mesa, AZ, said demand has increased by more than 100 percent in the last year. She said that at this time in 2008, about 175 people a week (the food bank is open one day a week) bought 200 boxes a food but now they were seeing about 350 people per week and they were buying 400-450 boxes of food per week. Each box of food cost $16 and contains enough food for five meals for two people, including meat, fruit and vegetables and starches. In addition to the food boxes, the food bank gives away perishables, like fresh baked goods and produce, that are donated by Phoenix area grocery stores and food producers. She said the number of donations to the food bank have increased as the economy has worsened but each donation is smaller and the gap between donations and what the food bank needs is widening.

  • 21 MAY 2020 - DES MOINES, IOWA: JOSH MANDELBAUM, a Des Moines City Councilman, hands a bag of meals to people in a drive through emergency food distribution in Evelyn K. Davis Park in central Des Moines. All of the 485 meals were distributed in about an hour. The economic fallout of the pandemic is being felt throughout Iowa. On May 21, 2020, Iowa reported that 187,375 people had filed for unemployment since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting economic shutdown. Emergency food pantry has also increased in that time, as many Iowans in low wage jobs used emergency food banks and pantries for the first time. The Food Bank of Iowa said Thursday that demand in April 2020 was 31% higher than demand in April 2019, mostly because of unemployment caused by the Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic. The emergency food distribution Thursday was organized by the city of Des Moines, Food Bank of Iowa, Central Iowa Shelter and Services, Urban Dreams and Orchestrate Hospitality.

  • 06 NOVEMBER 2020 - DES MOINES, IOWA: DOUG, a US Marine Corps veteran of Operation Desert Storm, asks for help along the side of a freeway entrance in Des Moines. Doug, who can't work because he is on 100 percent disability, said his Veterans' Administration benefits covered his rent and most of his car payment but it didn't leave enough for car insurance or food so he asks for help along the freeway entrance. He said he visits two or three emergency pantries per week to get enough food to get by. Food insecurity in the Des Moines area has skyrocketed since the start of the Coronavirus pandemic. Although unemployment rates in Iowa have fallen since a peak in June, many families that fell behind on rent are now facing eviction. A food bank spokesperson said use of the Food Bank's emergency pantries and distribution points is still increasing.    PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

The emergency food distribution Thursday was organized by the city of Des Moines, Food Bank of Iowa, Central Iowa Shelter and Services, Urban Dreams and Orchestrate Hospitality.
