00:00:00,510 --> 00:00:02,850
Food has a magical way of
bringing people together

2
00:00:02,850 --> 00:00:05,220
during the holidays.
This year, food banks

3
00:00:05,220 --> 00:00:07,290
need more help than
ever to ensure everybody

4
00:00:07,290 --> 00:00:10,770
has access to nourishing
meals. With offices, schools

5
00:00:10,770 --> 00:00:11,820
and community centers

6
00:00:11,820 --> 00:00:14,760
closed, food drives have
slowed down quite a bit.

7
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:16,860
And for everybody's
safety, many charities

8
00:00:16,860 --> 00:00:19,230
have stopped
accepting food items.

9
00:00:19,230 --> 00:00:21,090
Nevertheless,
local pantries need

10
00:00:21,090 --> 00:00:23,460
help to meet almost
double the need this year,

11
00:00:23,460 --> 00:00:26,460
with food insecurity
at an all time high.

12
00:00:26,460 --> 00:00:30,870
So what's the best way
to help? With donations!

13
00:00:30,870 --> 00:00:33,840
Food banks are most in
need of monetary donations.

14
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:35,790
Instead of dropping
off groceries,

15
00:00:35,790 --> 00:00:38,550
send funds to help feed
those without food.

16
00:00:38,550 --> 00:00:40,710
Share donation links with
your friends and family,

17
00:00:40,710 --> 00:00:43,680
and encourage employees
to give with matching.

18
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:46,650
Find your local food
bank at foodpantries.org

19
00:00:46,650 --> 00:00:49,910
to learn how to donate
and volunteer safely.
