Now many have jobs that are either not there anymore or put on hold, and many more are turning to the Alameda County food bank for help. The director of the food bank is joining us this morning. Good morning, susan. Good morning. Tell me what youre getting from the community you serve. We are hearing from many more community members. Our help line calls have increased by 1000 . We went from taking about 30 calls a day to 300. And we are keeping up pretty well, but we are about a day behind in returning those calls. Twothirds of those are coming from Senior Citizens in the community. And about half of those are from people who have never ever asked us for help before. How are you changing how you deliver what could be life saving food. Our operation has changed 100 . We are bagging emergency food bags every single day in our facility. We are no longer welcoming volunteers into the facility to help us. Actually thats quite distressing to us because volunteers keep us energized and happy and keep the produce sorted. We are getting help from california conservation corps and from county workers, Alameda County workers. So they have replaced our individual volunteers coming in. Food is flowing out rather rapidly from our facility, which is good. It indicates to us that people are still able to get services, which is important. Lets talk about the food thats coming in before it goes out. Are you having any suppliers say to you, i just cant afford to give or i dont have the food to give to you now . Right now we are finding many suppliers do have additional food and have been generously donating it to us. We are also trying to purchase food right now because items like protein foods, canned protein goods, they are very valuable. Every food bank in the country is trying to buy them, along with the u. S. Government. So those are harder to find right now. We have products on order and some are coming in, so thats really good. And probably one of the questions you want to ask is, you know, how can the Community Help us if they cant come to the facility and volunteer . Donations are still grateful accepted. We can really stretch donor dollars, and we have been really touched by the community support. Theres a group in oakland called oakland at risk. Their site is oaklandatrisk. Com. People can contact them and look at ways they can volunteer by taking food to a shutin senior, which is a great opportunity for those of us who want to volunteer in the community. These are a couple ways the community can help. Im amazed at the way you stretch a dollar. Tell us how you guys can turn a dollar into a couple full meals. So we buy wholesale prices, which is really great. We can leverage your dollar. We also buy a lot of produce. When we say buy, its not at normal retail rates. We are buying it for 30 cents a pound. That comes from food banks and from california farms to food banks is essential for good health and good living. We are still able to get that product at a greatly reduced price, and we want to continue distributing that product. Its so essential to the community and keeping the Community Healthy right now. I love the message i see when i walk through the doors of the food bank, dont donate soda because we dont give that out. I love that youre keeping the Community Healthy. Thank you for joining us and thank you for your good efforts to serve our neighbors in Alameda County. Thank you very much for your time. Of course.
