Long before the onset of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, 37 million Americans face the daily agony of being hungry. This year, that number is projected to exceed 54 million people, including 18 million children.<\/p>\n

In rural communities\u2014where the majority of crops that feed the world are grown\u2014 people experience hunger issues at higher rates. In the U.S., approximately 2.3 million households in rural communities\u00ad have food insecurities, according to Feeding America, the nation\u2019s largest domestic hunger-relief organization.<\/p>\n

Second Harvest of South Georgia,<\/a> part of Feeding America\u2019s network of 200 food banks, has been on the front line of the hunger war since 1982. Working with\u00a0400 agency partners throughout 26 counties,\u00a0Second Harvest of South Georgia is the region\u2019s leading hunger-relief organization.<\/p>\n

In early February,\u00a0Frank Richards, CEO of Second Harvest of South Georgia, says he started monitoring COVID-19 after reports of an alarming number of deaths at a nursing home in Seattle, Washington.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was shortly after that when John Hopkins [University] started posting COVID numbers,\u201d he says. \u201cThat\u2019s when I knew we needed to dust off our pandemic plan and get some processes in place.\u201d<\/p>\n

On March 14, when Gov. Brian Kemp declared a public health emergency due to COVID-19, Second Harvest of South Georgia<\/a> mobilized efforts to get food resources to families in need.<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst, we sent a survey to all our agencies,\u201d says Richards, who has worked with the food bank for 28 years. \u201cA couple of key things we needed to know included their plans for staying open and how they would handle providing services. From their responses, we immediately knew that it wasn\u2019t going to be business as usual.\u201d<\/p>\n

With nearly three decades of experience, the food bank\u2019s staff has participated in disaster relief efforts for numerous hurricanes, tornados, and other emergencies and natural disasters.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe difference in a pandemic and other disaster relief efforts is the wide scope of impact and time,\u201d\u00a0says Eliza McCall, chief marketing officer with Second Harvest of South Georgia.<\/a> \u201cWith a hurricane, you can prepare and have an idea where it\u2019s going to make landfall, and once it does, you go in and start to work. But with this, there is no end in sight.\u201d<\/p>\n

Schools Out<\/strong><\/h3>\n

As schools started closing across the state, Second Harvest of South Georgia<\/a> ramped up its children\u2019s feeding program. A big part of the food bank\u2019s overall mission is the Kids Caf\u00e9, which provides at-risk school-aged children with snacks and meals through afterschool programs and summer and holiday breaks.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn a normal day, South Georgia has a food insecurity problem,\u201d says McCall. \u201cWhen you add COVID, it created a secondary crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n

In South Georgia,\u00a0one in four children struggle daily\u00a0with having enough food in their homes. With the abrupt ending of the school year, the issue of food insecurity reached a critical level. Students who regularly received free or reduced meals (often breakfast and lunch) no longer had that option.<\/p>\n

From mid-March through July, the Kids Caf\u00e9 prepared and delivered\u00a0414,687 meals\u00a0and snacks throughout its service region\u2014doubling the number of meals served last year.<\/p>\n

Working with about a dozen school districts, McCall says, \u201cWe met them where they needed us. Each school had different needs. For some, we were a stop-gap until they could get up and running on their own, and others needed long-term help.\u201d<\/p>\n

Critical Need\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

While assisting with school lunch programs, Second Harvest of South Georgia<\/a> also coordinated mobile food distributions to help families financially impacted due to the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe need is tremendous,\u201d says McCall. \u201cOn top of people we were helping before the pandemic, we now have people that have never asked for assistance before.\u201d<\/p>\n

From the start of the first mobile food distribution on March 20, through the end of July, Second Harvest of South Georgia<\/a> gave away more\u00a0than 11 million pounds of food\u2014the equivalent of 9.71 million meals (based on 1.2 pounds of food per meal).<\/p>\n

The mobile food distribution events occur three times a month\u2014rotating between Valdosta, Thomasville, and Tifton\u2014and each one serves 1,500 to 2,000 families on a first-come, first-serve basis.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we get to the site to set up, usually around 6 a.m., there are hundreds of cars wrapped around the parking lot,\u201d says McCall. \u201cWe\u2019ve had people tell us they waited four to five hours.\u201d<\/p>\n

When the mobile distributions started, families received a pantry box filled with non-perishable items such as soups, beans, rice, and canned fruits and vegetables.<\/p>\n

McCall says the amount of food given to families has grown exponentially thanks to increased corporate donations and the U.S. Department of Agriculture Coronavirus Food Assistance Program (CFAP), which includes the Farmers to Families Food Boxes.<\/p>\n

A drive-through process, cars now stop at six to eight stations where they receive a pantry box plus milk, cheese, eggs, bread, frozen chicken and pork, and fresh fruit and vegetables.<\/p>\n

\u201cFamilies now leave with about 100 pounds of food. Enough to last two to three weeks, depending on the size of the family,\u201d says McCall. \u201cEach time it looks a little different based on what we have in the warehouses.\u201d<\/p>\n

Throughout the year, Second Harvest of South Georgia<\/a> maintains about\u00a05 million pounds of frozen, refrigerated, and dry products\u00a0within three warehouses.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe turn the inventory over three to four times a year,\u201d says Richards. \u201cThis year, we expect to distribute more than\u00a020 million pounds\u00a0of food,\u201d up from the approximately\u00a016 million in previous years.<\/p>\n

Even as businesses started to reopen and children return to school, the long lines of cars are a visual reminder that in South Georgia, one in five people have difficulty accessing affordable and nutritious food daily.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn a normal day, South Georgia has a food insecurity problem. When you add COVID, it created a secondary crisis.\u201d –Eliza McCall<\/h3>\n

Send in the Troops\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Called on in a time of crisis, members of the Georgia National Guard have assisted in a variety of COVID-19 related assignments from disinfecting nursing homes to helping food banks across the state.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe National Guard has been crucial, not only helping us build the pantry boxes, but they also assist at the weekly distribution sites,\u201d says McCall. \u201cWe could not do this without them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Before each food distribution,\u00a0approximately 2,000 pantry boxes have to be assembled, and more than 250,000 pounds of food are loaded and transported to the site.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are now using a minimum of 50 National Guard members for the big distributions,\u201d says McCall. \u201cDuring the week, we have about 10 to 15 helping build the pantry boxes.\u201d<\/p>\n

McCall estimates\u00a050,000 pantry boxes have been distributed since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

Normally, Second Harvest of South Georgia<\/a> operates with\u00a035 full- and part-time staff,\u00a0plus hundreds of volunteers throughout the year; however, COVID-19 restrictions halted the use of volunteers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe appreciate Gov. Kemp providing the National Guard and need to keep them,\u201d says McCall. \u201cEven trying to hire workers would cost us\u00a0about $5,000 a day to replicate the labor cost.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Second Harvest of South Georgia<\/a> relies on federal assistance, grants, and food donations from more than 90 national companies, individual and corporate monetary donations allow the food bank to continue its mission to feed South Georgia\u2019s low-income families and children.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor every dollar we receive, we can distribute food equivalent of 8.77 meals,\u201d she says. \u201cThis money helps fill in the gaps so that we can keep our doors open.\u201d<\/p>\n
