Food shortages have affected many fast food restaurants, Burger King with pickles, Starbucks with oat milk, fruit and other ingredients. Taco Bell is the latest chain to experience food shortages, from lettuce to perhaps more essential item, sauce packages. The highly publicized chicken shortages have effected them as well, but for people who can’t afford fast food there is bigger issue.
In Milwaukee, essential food pantries have been getting closed down, others have experienced zoning issues with the city. To the families who rely on it, this can be a devastating blow, but there are resources.
If you text MKEFood to 73224 will deliver you to one food pantries. The gorilla to go program also offers, free 7 day meal preps delivered for no charge.
With shortages effected all walks of life, it’s imperative that we must collaborate with each other, and look out for those less fortunate. Have a great week.
