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.
