More than 100 food banks and pantries have been providing meals to county residents who have lost their jobs or have otherwise been severely affected by economic challenges. Operated by nonprofits, school districts, churches, and other faith-based organizations; these food banks have played a critical role in ensuring county residents avoid going hungry during these arduous times. Some of the programs helping residents in need include Great Plates Delivered, the Meal and Diaper program, and the Grab and Go school meals program. The county’s preschool services department anticipates being able to soon add meat, eggs, and dairy to the fruits and vegetables in the Grab and Go program.
