Catholic Charities launches Stock the Pantry food drive
Delaware News Desk
Catholic Charities Inc. of the Diocese of Wilmington is seeking nonperishable food and goods donations for the Stock the Pantry food drive for the agency to meet the need for food assistance during the pandemic.
The COVID-19-related shelter in place and state of emergency orders have helped slow the spread of the virus, but have contributed to high unemployment. The number of people who have experienced job loss or a reduction in hours has dramatically increased requests for food assistance; some months have been as high as six times previous years requests.
