PHOENIX, ARIZ. – Christmas Day is Friday and for many, it’s a time of celebration – but for those less fortunate, it can be another day of worry. Typically food banks are there to save the day but this year because of COVID-19 their demand is higher than ever.

Several organizations nationwide say their demand has more than doubled this year, and it’s taking a toll on families. "We are providing more food than ever before," said Tyson Nansel, vice president of external affairs for United Food Bank in Mesa, Ariz.

United Food Bank in Mesa, Arizona distributes food boxes for the community every Friday. Typically their Christmas pick up is around 600 families but this year that number grew to 2,500. For every $1 donation, they can provide five nutritious meals. "Pre-pandemic we were delivering 61,000 meals daily and this time it's different, we're delivering 75,000 meals daily. Our distributions on Fridays have grown significantly," Nansel said.
