The number of coronavirus cases in the United States is ticking steadily upward, and with it are Americans’ collective anxiety levels. Donate to your local food bankAs the virus spreads, food banks could face additional pressures. David May, a spokesperson for the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank, said that the group currently distributes 1 million pounds of food per week.
