In response to that excessive demand, the food bank held a drive-thru food drive on Saturday for the first time in the organization's history. The Daily Bread Food Bank says it is low on food, as it will be sending out more than 15,000,000 pounds of non-perishable items. For her birthday this year, Luna Gatkowski-Vio, right, decided to raise money for the Daily Bread Food Bank instead of receiving gifts. "Together, we are going to advocate for systemic change so that nobody needs the food bank," Hetherington said. Daily Bread Food Bank CEO Neil Hetherington said Saturday's event was a safe way for people to drop off donations amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
