“We’ve heard so many stories from people who say that they are coming to a food bank for the first time,” the founder Luther Washington said in a news release.

“To those who say ‘I have always been a giver, and now I find myself in need,’ we know there are families who never needed the help, who could always afford food; but now they need it,” Washington added.
