The Herrin House of Hope says the demand for meals has seen a 300-400 increase for the fourth straight week.
The ministry says, as of Monday, they surpassed 12,000 meals served in their COVID-19 relief efforts.
Due to extreme need, they say they are now providing up to two meals per day per household member.
Meals are available Monday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the main-curbside entrance located at 112 N. 14th St. in Herrin.
