摘要
The efforts to manage the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic led to unprecedented social and economic change and put strain on charities who provide community and emergency food aid. This research investigates the response and capacity of the emergency food sector in Victoria, Australia, to the Covid-19 pandemic. An online 37-question self-administered survey was sent (April-May 2020) to 601 agencies, valid responses were received from 101 agencies. Results suggest an increase in the number of people seeking aid, and when combined with changes in supply chains and the impact of panic buying in the community, created food shortages for agencies.
