I volunteered at the food pantry last Saturday

This is a very active pantry located at a non-denominational church. I'm posting this just as anecdotal info. A person or family can be served once a month, although they can obtain bread every Saturday. The church has built a huge vegetable garden on the grounds.

Here's what went into the month's food box for a family of three. (Larger families were able to obtain more protein, peanut butter, meat.)

three cans of peaches
two cans cream of mushroom soup
two cans cream of tomato soup
two cans corn
1/2 gallon shelf stable 1% milk
1 can tuna
1 box dehydrated potato mix
two cans refried beans
three oranges
two pounds oatmeal, bulk
two pounds granola, bulk
one pound lentils, bulk
1 bag jalapeno potato chips
4 bottles perishable coconut water (2 days from outdate)
1 qt greek yogurt, container damaged
2 cans chopped tomatoes
1 can pasta sauce
1 pound elbow macaroni
1 pound ground turkey, frozen
bread (surplus of breads this week, the client could select as much as desired)

Here's what the state food bank says about the cost of groceries they experienced this year:

The cost of a case of tuna jumped 28 percent this year.

Peanut butter went up 71 percent.

Agricultural commodities normally received through federal program dropped 60 percent this year.

Donations have dropped, requests for assistance are skyrocketing, food banks and pantries are not able to keep up with increasing demand.
