Let's say, hypothetically, I run a soup kitchen. We get donated goods that are mostly things about to expire, or considered too "imperfect" for sale. That is; things which are perfectly fine to eat, but businesses usually throw out, and will probably be less generous with as the crisis hits.

I can anticipate now that demand will increase on the soup kitchen's services, while simultaneously our inputs decrease....

I guess this may be an intractable problem, really. Other than trying to build new connections in the community, which usually takes a lot of time and energy, there's probably nothing that can be done. But, people on here have given me very thoughtful and clever answers before, so figured I'd ask.
