jdeutsch@thenownews.com Donations are way down at the SHARE food bank, which has only two-and-a-half weeks worth of food left on its shelves. SHARE CEO Martin Wyant said the food bank usually has about 12 weeks worth of food by the end of December. “We’re not seeing the numbers come in the way that we’ve typically seen them come in,” he told the Tri-Cities NOW, adding it’s rare for the organization to put out an appeal at this time of
the year. November and December are typically key fund- and food-raising months for SHARE. The goal is to have enough food at the end of the year — 40,000 food items or 800 shopping carts — to last through the first quarter of 2015. Meanwhile, demand for the food bank’s services spikes during the holidays.
