WHflTS THE NEXT C4SE?J THE CASE of J66YI ZAWBoLA's NfuRPERED ood Bank faces major shortages; heritable donations fall to a low AUSTIN (AP) — The Capital ocl t rea Food Bank’s warehouse Dse to empty as it’s ever been, and e director says corporate takeovers and a resulting reduction in char- ble donations — are to blame. :o us‘B“The crisis is that this seems to be tholdaBtrend without an ending,” food d j ;bank executive director Judy Carter 'gfUflid. “There doesn’t seem to be a time when it’s going to get better.” ■ Food bank employees say the ifi(si| shortages — blamed on an unprece- percf dented reduction in donations on a I perciptional level — could not have toialf^me at a worse time, s '®BThe percentage of Travis County Residents living in poverty has in- eased from 14.1 percent in 1980 to 19.7 percent in 1989. In addition, the number of social service agencies receiving supplies from the food bank has increased from 110 last year to 128. The Central Texas agencies pay the food bank a handling charge of 10 cents per pound for food and cleaning supplies, then distribute the items to their clients. The problem facing food banks across the nation is that corporate food donations to the Second Har vest — a Chicago-based national net work that allocates food to 200 food banks — have been hurt by mergers, buyouts and drought. Takeovers hurt because a cor poration may go into debt to buy an other company, then institute penny-saving measures such as sell ing surplus food to salvage opera tions instead of making donations to food banks, Carter said. Carter said Second Harvest offi cials also must cultivate new exec utives when a company is purchased. “We have to start all over convincing them that it is good for the company as well as the community to donate.” The Capital Area Food Bank, which distributed 3.1 million pounds of food in 1988, receives 42 percent of its donated food from Second Harvest, Carter said. As of the end of August, Second Harvest ship ments to the local food bank were jiown 39 percent, she said.
