Donations haven't been keeping pace with rising demand, so the Des Moines Area Religious Council's food pantry's cutting the size of the food boxes given to families in need by 40%. KCCI reports a family of four usually gets 55 items in a box each month; that drops to 33 come Monday. Last year, Des Moines-area pantries gave over 9200 families food boxes. Right now that number's close to 13,000.
