Anderson Valley Food Bank responds to increasing need

Ann Christen, one of 20 volunteers who run the Anderson Valley Food Bank, talks about responding to increasing food insecurity during the coronavirus pandemic and shelter-in-place order. The food bank distributes fresh fruit and vegetables as well as staples to some 600 people each month, operating out of the Methodist Church in Boonville. In May the Food Bank will add a second day of food distribution, and is seeking more volunteers and more donations.
