OP
To make matters worse, a lot of grocers who donate to food banks are not donating as much.

They donate items past the sell by date. They are pulled the night before their date and set them aside for pickup. With the increase in sales volume, there is a lot less product sitting on the shelves until the sell by date, which means a lot less donations.
