American Brooklyn Dotson needed food. Dotson had worked at a warehouse in Tennessee, but she lost her job. So, the young Nashville woman drove almost 50 kilometers to the Grace Works Ministries food bank in Franklin. There, workers loaded about $350 worth of food into her car. Food banks across the United States stay busy even in the best of economic times. Now, however, the coronavirus pandemic has brought increased demand as millions of people like Dotson are unexpectedly out of work. Just as demand for food is increasing, however, many of the people and places that offered donations in the past have stopped. Restaurants and hotels are closed or have reduced operations. At other times, they gave all their extra food to food banks.
