Since March, when the economy began to collapse and millions lost their jobs, families have turned to food banks and food organizations in record numbers. Over the course of a few months, I spent time with the Capital Area Food Bank, Kingdom Fellowship A.M.E. Church, Rainbow Family Christian Center, Urban Outreach Inc., the Humane Rescue Alliance and the numerous volunteers who have been working to help address food insecurity in the Washington metropolitan area. “We feel very humbled to be able to serve our brothers and sisters in this community who are dealing with food insecurity at a level that we’ve never seen before,” said the Rev. Matthew L. Watley, senior pastor of Kingdom Fellowship A.M.E. Church. “To see entire families on the brink and vulnerable really gave us a call to stretch out and to try to serve. We’re here until we believe we can make an impact for those who are really in need, and we’re hoping to increase our capacity even further.” Because of the pandemic, the Capital Area Food Bank has lost 50 percent of its partner organizations, such as shuttered restaurants, and donations are down.

A volunteer at the Rainbow Community Development Center, he believes all residents should show up for the community. “Every county in every city should have businesses coming together to do whatever needs to be done for equity in that county, or that city, and food security is the most basic things we can do,” Mr. Burness said. “I just want every place in America to have the business community involved. If we’re going to solve hunger it’s not just the government, it’s not just the food banks and other nonprofits, it’s not just the businesses, it’s the three working together that can make a difference. We really need public-private partnerships working together to fight hunger and everything else that’s needed to give people a chance at life.” During the months I spent with the groups, I saw so many people in need. Many were seeking help from food banks for the first time in their lives.
