Demand Up at Food Pantries in the Last Month

Diakonia Website

On this Thanksgiving Day many Americans will sit down for a large dinner with family and friends. However, during this holiday season, the Food Pantries will be working overtime to meet the need of those who have much less on their table. Diakonia's executive director Claudia Nagle tells Delmarva Public Radio's Don Rush she has seen a sharp increase in demand by families for donated food.

Don Rush is the News Director and Senior Producer of News and Public Affairs at Delmarva Public Media. An award-winning journalist, Don reports major local issues of the day, from sea level rise, to urban development, to the changing demographics of Delmarva.
