Over the past year, it seems like prices for everything have gone up and with the holiday season approaching, many are struggling to make ends meet. The Santa Barbara County Food Bank is already seeing an increase in those needing food. “Over the past few months, we have seen an increase in the need for food and due to inflation and rising gas prices, those in our community with the lowest income have been hit the hardest and that’s where the food bank comes in to help,” said Patricia Aguirre, North County Community Engagement Coordinator for the Santa Barbara County Food Bank.
