The coronavirus pandemic has left many families in need particularly those who have lost their jobs or have been temporarily laid off because businesses have closed their doors. Director of Regional Services Jennifer Small for the Maryland Food Bank of the Eastern Shore told Delmarva Public Radio's Don Rush that her organization has been hit with declining donations just at the time that demand has risen.
