Eric Cooper, president and CEO of the food bank, joined Leading SA to discuss the current need and how you can help out.
on Sunday to discuss the current need and how you can help out.
“We’re still seeing about 105,000 people each week throughout 29 counties here in southwest Texas. And it’s had us incredibly busy, I think, as families are struggling with inflation across the board. They’re coming in there. They’re looking for the essential staple food items to nourish themselves and their families,” Cooper said.
With schools out for the summer, it can be a challenging time for local families trying to provide meals for their children and the food bank preparing to meet more needs. “... As summer is hitting, we’re hearing from moms worried about what they’re going to do for childcare costs. They’re worried about that demand for that extra food. And then they’re also worried about their utility bills. The summers get hot and utility bills get high. And so just struggling to make ends meet,” Cooper said.
