Together Omaha's food pantry served 42,000 people in 2019. In 2020, it'll be well more than double that.

They've served more than 78,000 people as of late last week, said Together Omaha's president, Mike Hornacek.

Similarly, Food Bank of the Heartland said they've seen a jump from 207,000 to 296,000
