Show Notes
Rising gas prices are causing a major strain on Harvesters, a food bank serving Kansas Citys twenty-seven county region. With diesel prices spiking, fuel costs are not only increasing pump prices but also driving up food expenses due to shipping costs. This surge in gas prices is leading to quick hikes in moving goods through the supply chain, squeezing Harvesters operations from top to bottom. The organization is facing additional challenges with federal programs cut by thirty percent and hunger in the area reaching a decade high. Every extra dollar spent on fuel means less food for those in need, leaving Harvesters stretched thin as demand surges.
