'We just have to hang in there': Holidays means more relying on food shelves to keep families fed
Ten months into pandemic, the need for food aid isn’t slowing down anytime soon

Sarah Beiswanger, 50, of Mankato helps her son, Charan Beiswanger, 18, a senior of Mankato East High School, with distance learning. The Beiswangers depend on the ECHO Food Shelf in the city to help feed the family. With kids being home for distance learning, the expenses for groceries are higher, which means the family relies on the food shelf even more. Especially during the holiday season.
