Long lines, empty shelves and Thanksgiving chickens are just a few
symptoms of the economic downturn's effect on food banks and
community
pantries across the country.

People are turning to charitable organizations for their
Thanksgiving
meal this year in record numbers, while donations have dropped
significantly and funding has been slashed.

Charity organizers across the country say the lagging economy has
forced individual donors to keep money to themselves, while
businesses
that usually donate are struggling to stay afloat.
