, Brooklyn, dozens of volunteers spent hours packing and sorting bags of seasonal food, dry goods, and pantry items to be distributed to around 400 food pantries and soup kitchens around the city.
"We have some canned vegetables, rice, mac 'n cheese, stuffing, everything that can help make your Thanksgiving table full," Chelsea Ettlinger, manager of business partnerships at City Harvest, told CBS2's Hannah Kliger. "It's about three times the size of our old home, so it provides more space for us to be able to do our mission to fight hunger," said Jerome Nathaniel, who works at City Harvest.
"We're seeing more pantry visits right now. In fact, we had a survey where nine out of 10 people who go to our pantry programs right now said they are going to be making more visits to pantries this year because of the rising costs of food," he said.
