Michelle Book with the Food Bank of Iowa says families have been able to find the new locations. She says in just the last two weeks, they've distributed 27,000 pounds of food. She says food is distributed weekly at the drive-thru locations. Book says they're expecting the numbers to rise, and are preparing for thousands of families in the Des Moines school district to seek assistance.
Last year, nearly 80-percent of all Des Moines school children qualified for free or reduced cost meals.
