Every day, more and more people are faced with a food crisis. The reasons are many: cutbacks in social services, job crisis, rising unemployment, economic instability, soaring food costs, fallout from the pandemic, and environmental/natural disasters (floods, hurricanes, storms, earthquakes, fires, etc.). People are buying food with their hard-earned money and medication from their food budget. They are forced to choose between necessities. Even a one-month crisis can create havoc and start a household on a downward spiral of borrowing that leads to more and more debt.
Everyone can suffer from food insecurity, especially since the pandemic threw so many people into food poverty. Working people often feel as much pain as other people. If their income is marginal, they may exhaust what they have between
paychecks. An unexpected expense may create a redirection of the money allocated for food in their budget. Or they may suddenly find themselves without a job and lack any savings to fall back on. Even those who are entitled to unemployment insurance benefits have to wait three to five weeks for their first check. And social services for the working poor are often the target of the most extensive cutbacks. Seniors, veterans, disabled, and single-parent households are also struggling with food insecurity. But today, the effects of climate change should not be dismissed. Natural disasters such as hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, and fires have thrown residents of all economic levels in towns, neighborhoods, and cities into relying on food resources from community food pantries and the like.
Here’s what you will need to do to begin the process of setting up a food pantry or a community food center. The guidebook is just a guide. You can modify it however you need and make changes that may suit your situation and your community. Each state may have different guidelines for complying with certain requirements. Please do not ignore them.
