Episode notes

As demand for food support skyrocketed during the early days of the pandemic, Bay Area food banks redoubled their efforts, boosting food distribution and adding services. Years later, the need remains high, even as pandemic-era funding sources run dry. Reporter Carolyn Said tells host Laura Wenus why the San Francisco-Marin Food Bank will be paring back its services, and how that might affect clients. | Unlimited Chronicle access: sfchronicle.com/pod
