Notes
Description from donor: "Throughout the pandemic I worked at a food pantry called El Buen Samaritano. Each week, we picked up ~5200 lbs of food from the Central Texas Food Bank to serve the population of Austin, Texas. This is our team on April 20, 2020." Additional description from donor: "During the course of the pandemic, I worked at a local food pantry. Before the pandemic hit, we served around 90 families per week. After the pandemic, we transitioned into contactless pick-up and were serving around 120 families per day, sometimes having to turn people away. Our numbers stayed consistent throughout the course of the hardest months of the pandemic, from March until December 2020. This photograph shows the number of bags that went out on April 07, 2020."
