Workers fill boxes of food from the Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida to be distributed to needy families at a mobile food drop event at the Impact Outreach Ministry on April 6, 2020 in Orlando, Florida, US. While donations are down, many food banks across the country are scrambling to keep up with a skyrocketing demand for food due to job losses as businesses furlough workers due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
