Dear Tushar,

Spiking inflation, higher rents, increased fuel costs, and the end of pandemic assistance programs are impacting family budgets. After fixed costs are paid, most working poor fall well short of putting food on the table.

Last year across our three food pantries in the MetroWest/495 Corridor, almost 1,900 new families registered for assistance, a huge increase compared to 2019 before the pandemic, when we had just a few hundred new individuals and families seeking support. Residents who were once volunteers and donors are now reaching out to our food pantries for help, and we want them to know we’re here for them.

Many clients at our food pantries working minimum-wage jobs say their wages can no longer keep step with skyrocketing prices of basic goods. The cost for items across the board have increased; food, housing, retail, fuel, and while we all feel the pinch, the impact of inflation disproportionately hurts lower-income families.

Amelia is retired and lives on a fixed income. Amelia says her benefits are no longer paying for the basics she needs to live. “Everything is much more expensive, the groceries from the pantry help take the pressure off, and I am very grateful,” she adds.

Our client’s resources, our resources, are being stretched to the limit. Grocery bills are slamming household budgets and nutrition assistance programs like ours. COVID added hundreds of new people to our food lines, many who have never been in a food line before, and we need help.
