SPOKANE, Wash. A local food pantry searching for families to feed during the pandemic is getting its wish.
The Better Living Center used to feed about 1,200 families a month, but that number dropped significantly during the pandemic.
So, organizers at the center enlisted 4 News Now to help spread the message.
“If you need food, you’re hurting, and it’s just so important to have a place that people can come and fill up their trunk with good food and take it to their families,” said Gayle Haeger, executive director at The Better Living Center.

SPOKANE, Wash. More than 50 million people in the US struggle to put food on the table. One Spokane organization wants to help, and it can’t do that without families to feed.
A Better Living Center normally feeds about 1,200 people a month. Since the pandemic, the number has dropped dramatically.
Because of that, a lot of food is sitting on the shelves.
Tomato sauce, pears, chicken, oranges… all waiting to go to a family’s home.
“Right now with COVID and everything, the numbers of people coming in is way down,” said Gayle Haeger, executive director at Better Living Center.
