First came the coronavirus pandemic and now high inflation. Food banks are seeing a major increase in need. Philabundance, the area’s largest hunger relief organization, says it’s distributing more food than ever before amid skyrocketing prices.

“The prices of food are so high. They’re going up higher every day,” one woman said.
