Voices of Youth: Fueled by volunteers, Food Gatherers has been fighting local hunger for 35 years
There are many circumstances that can cause someone to become food insecure, and there are plenty of people who may just not have enough money to make it through the week and need some extra help to keep them going.
A recent cause for food insecurity that is still making an impact locally has been the COVID-19 pandemic, says Eileen Spring, CEO of Food Gatherers. Spring has been with Food Gatherers for nearly 30 years. She says that, due to COVID-19, there are more people in need of assistance than ever.
