Bay Area Food Banks, Feeding More People Than Ever, Face Lack of Volunteers

An outdoor scene, likely in a parking lot, on an overcast day. A bald middle-aged Black man wearing a black face mask, white gloves with orange rubber palms, and a neon yellow vest over a gray long-sleeved shirt hoists a white, open-top, cardboard box above his head, taking it down from a tall pile of similar boxes. He is surrounded by towers of these plastic-wrapped boxes; a box in the foreground shows that they're full of fruit: oranges, and what looks like lemons and plums. Behind him, beneath at least four blue tents/shade structures, are more towers of plastic-wrapped brown cardboard boxes -- we can't see inside them. A gray tent says "IBEW Local Union 11," below a circular crest of concentric circles of black, red, blue and then yellow in the middle. Way in the distance are the tippy-tops of a row of coconut palms, and a utility pole.
