CEO Dave Krepcho joined anchor Justin Warmoth on “The Weekly on ClickOrlando.com” to explain the growing demand for thousands of Central Florida families in need with Thanksgiving right around the corner.
“In the first quarter of 2021, we may face a massive food cliff in terms of supply,” Krepcho said. “We don’t know how long the community can continue to support us.”
