Wednesday, January 26, 2022 at 8:55 AM

Food banks are looking for extra volunteers as regular staff aren't able to commit due to the omicron variant.

Food banks across the country are experiencing a critical shortage of volunteers.

Many who would staff a regular shift have had to cancel due to the omicron variant.

Many companies and schools that regularly provide large groups of volunteers are canceling their participation out of abundance of caution.

Local food banks are looking for volunteers and say if you feel comfortable helping them out then you are encouraged to contact a local food pantry to see how you might be able to serve.
