Kansas City Lawmaker And Volunteers ‘Fill A Void’ During Easter As Food Prices Escalate

Volunteers at a recent Easter giveaway in Kansas City stacked canned goods, organized sacks of vegetables and placed baskets filled with personal care products in cars.
“Once the pandemic started, I felt like, ‘Children aren’t being in school and parents having to still go to work, we needed to do something to fill the void,’” said Missouri Senator Barbara Washington. “Many of our kids needed food so we started this actually by extending feeding to school age kids for breakfast and lunch every day. So, with the help of Total Man, we’re doing about 1,800 to 2,500 hot breakfasts and lunches a day.”
