It’s Giving Tuesday, a day to take a pause from the holiday hustle and bustle, and give back to our community through charitable causes. 

One way a lot of people like to give back is by donating food or money to their local food bank.

While grocery prices are stabilizing, grocery prices are up about 20% compared to four years ago. 

So how is inflation impacting food banks ahead of this holiday season? We put together a panel of three food bank organizers to get a better understanding of how inflation is impacting their day to day work, and the communities they serve.

GUESTS:

• Otis Pimpleton, food services manager for the Rainier Valley Food Bank
• Eric Williams, team member at Second Harvest Inland Northwest
• Jan Coen, founder and food bank coordinator for the Gig Harbor Peninsula FISH Food Bank
