       This is a weird way to frame this story - yes, the peak of the pandemic resulted in more donations to food banks, which allowed them to build a rainy day reserve, but there's more to it than that.The real story is that food banks are now going through that money quickly, running deficits, in the face of rising food costs and that they need donations now. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/food-bank-donation-canada-reserves-pandemic-covid-1.6965882
