The on-going inflationary environment is presenting very real challenges to food banks, including Second Harvest and the many families, seniors, and others with limited resources that the organization serves. “Inflation, including core expenses of housing, fuel and food that affect low-resourced families disproportionately, are impacting the number of individuals seeking assistance, food available through our wonderful grocery partners and the pantry’s ability to purchase meat at the same levels as in the past.” “I’m generally not a fan of the “Perfect Storm” metaphor,” said Eric Aft, Chief Executive Officer at Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest NC, “but I see it as appropriate at this time, with multiple forces coming together to create a threatening situation with impacts to the health and well-being of families and our communities.” Second Harvest provides food for grocery assistance partners across 18 counties of Northwest North Carolina, including 10 agencies, churches, and organizations in Statesville and North Iredell.
