The Tri-State Food Bank will join with Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield to provide nearly 500,000 meals to an estimated 15,000 households.
The partnership will allow the food bank to receive a $195,000 grant towards distribution.
That will enable the food bank to increase its mobile distributions from a dozen a year to around 130.
Officials say that during the coronavirus pandemic, the amount of food insecure people in the Tri-State grew to 155,000, an increase of nearly 31,0
00.
