STAFF REPORT • March 1, 2021
The current pandemic has taken a toll on the nation’s population and has no boundaries with respect to ethnicity, class, age or gender. The only common theme arising from COVID-19 is that Latinos and Blacks are the moist impacted populations.
The pandemic has also caused the economy to ground to a halt causing huge unemployment and strains on family budgets. In many cases it has caused major food insecurity for families struggling to make ends meet. In the midst of widespread food insecurity, many cities have stepped in to allay these food challenges by providing massive food giveaways, including the City of Pico Rivera which has co-hosted Food Distribution Drives since the pandemic began.
