The Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank served 1700 families in need amid a spike in demand for emergency supplies across the U.S. due to the coronavirus shutdown.
Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank network development director Charlese McKinney told the network said that she was anticipating"a greater need," and that it was important to know"what exactly we have, so we have enough to go out for the needs."
She said demand at its food banks had spiked dramatically in the last few weeks and that"we're already hearing reports that the demand is growing beyond those numbers in communities across the country." "While that's worked in the short-term, we are getting to a point where food banks won't have inventory to meet demand in the weeks and months to come unless we can drive additional food and funding to food banks quickly," she said in an emailed comment.stimulus package agreed by the U.S. Senate

Trump Seeks To Stimulate Economy By Sending Rare Autographed Photo To Every AmericanWASHINGTON—With markets plummeting and many workers losing jobs as the coronavirus pandemic wreaks havoc on businesses, President Donald Trump announced Thursday a plan to stimulate the economy by sending a rare autographed 8-by-10-inch glossy photograph of himself to every U.S. resident. “We know people are hurting financially, so in order to assist them at this critical time, I will be sending out these exclusive and very high-quality signed Donald J. Trump headshots to every American,” said the president, explaining that the approximately 330 million recipients of the exclusive collector’s items could sell them for a hefty sum and then use the cash to cover rent, groceries, and medical bills, which would, in turn, pump billions of dollars back into the economy. “Look, I’m a pretty well-known guy, so these things should definitely fetch a nice price and be a huge help to our workers, sustaining them through a difficult moment in our country’s history. All we ask is that you do choose to sell them and spend the money now, for the sake of the economy, rather than holding on to these beautiful, limited-edition keepsakes as they inevitably appreciate in value. This is truly the stimulus we’ve all been waiting for.” At press time, critics had assailed Trump for exploiting a loophole in the new plan that allows him to send large corporations hundreds of thousands of extra autographed photos of himself.
