Long lines form at food banks across country ahead of Thanksgiving

Americans are lining up in historic numbers at food banks across the country this week as the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbates levels of food insecurity for millions of people.

As the Thanksgiving holiday draws closer, news reports from states around the U.S. indicate that more Americans face food security now than at any time in recent decades.

Video obtained by CNN on Tuesday from the Meadowlands entertainment complex in New Jersey showed residents waiting for several hours to obtain prepackaged boxes of meals for the Thanksgiving holiday.

"If it wasn't for this place, we wouldn't know where we would get our food," one distraught woman told CNN of the food bank in East Rutherford, N.J.

If you can afford to donate to your local food bank this season it would be very helpful.
