CASCADE, Idaho — Food banks have become more and more important throughout the pandemic, including the Cascade Food Pantry.
Due to the pandemic, they saw an enormous increase in demand and have also changed their operations and how they get the food to the people who need it.
They shifted to a drive-up system, with volunteers giving people a few boxes of food and they go on their way.
