--------------------------------------------This week, the U.S. Department of Agriculture canceled shipments to food banks across the country, including Harvesters. CEO & President Stephen Davis says they weren’t given a reason behind the cancellation.“The shipments that got canceled were really pivotal products for our neighbors,” said Davis. “They included things like protein, eggs, produce. Those are things that are hard for us to get, and so it’s really difficult to replace those.”Harvesters is a regional food bank; it serves 340,000 people across 27 counties in Missouri and Kansas. Davis says approximately 1 in 8 people in the community are food insecure.“One important thing to note is that hunger is on the rise,” said Davis. “We are experiencing levels of need that we saw during the peaks of the pandemic as far as number of individuals that are coming to our network of partners to receive food and services to help make sure they have enough for them and their families. This hurts. This is critical product that we need.”
