(NBC)Alameda County Food Bank Partners With Amazon to Deliver to Coronavirus Patients in Need
阿拉米达县食品银行与亚马逊合作，向有需要的冠状病毒患者提供食品
The food bank and Amazon are now delivering to some 400 households since launching at the beginning of June.
自6月初启动以来，该食品银行和亚马逊目前正在向大约400户家庭提供食品。
The Alameda County Community Food Bank announced a partnership Friday with Amazon to deliver food to county residents who have tested positive for the COVID-19 coronavirus and cannot get their own groceries.
阿拉梅达县社区食品银行周五宣布与亚马逊合作，向县内COVID-19冠状病毒检测呈阳性、无法购买食品的居民提供食品。
Through the partnership, Amazon is providing its Amazon Flex driver network to make contactless deliveries of healthy food from the food bank. The food bank and Amazon are now delivering to some 400 households since launching at the beginning of June.
通过这项合作，亚马逊将提供其Amazon Flex驱动网络，以实现从食品库向健康食品的非接触式配送。自6月初启动以来，该食品银行和亚马逊目前正在向大约400户家庭提供食品。
The food bank is now providing more than one million pounds of food per week to county residents due to the pandemic, which has caused a spike in food insecurity.
由于流感大流行，粮食银行现在每周向县居民提供100多万磅的粮食。
According to the food bank, an estimated one million people in Alameda County are seeking food assistance, roughly double the demand the food bank was serving prior to the pandemic.
根据粮食银行的数据，在阿拉米达县估计有100万人正在寻求粮食援助，这大约是该粮食银行在大流行之前提供的需求的两倍。
"Our emergency food help line call volume went up ten-fold from before (the pandemic)," food bank spokesman Michael Altfest said. "We were doing 25-30 calls a day. Within about 10 days of the pandemic starting, it was like 250 to 300 calls."
世界粮食银行发言人Michael Altfest说:“我们的紧急食品援助热线电话比疫情爆发前增加了10倍。”“我们每天要接25到30个电话。在疫情开始后的10天内，就接到了大约250到300个电话。”
Altfest said the food bank is keeping up with the increased demand from food insecure households but it has resulted in the organization spending vastly more than it did in years past.
阿尔费斯特说，粮食银行满足了粮食不安全家庭不断增长的需求，但这也导致该组织的支出大大高于过去几年。
"In April, May, June 2019 combined, we spent about $700,000 on food," he said. "In that same time frame this year, we spent $2 million."
“2019年4月、5月、6月，我们在食品上总共花了大约70万美元，”他说。“今年同期，我们花了200万美元。”
The partnership has allowed Amazon Flex drivers to deliver some 90,000 pounds of food since June began. The food bank is also partnered with other local organizations tackling food insecurity and expects demand to remain high for the foreseeable future.
自6月以来，这项合作已经让亚马逊的Flex司机运送了大约9万磅的食物。粮食银行还与其他处理粮食不安全问题的地方组织合作，并预计在可预见的未来，粮食需求仍将居高不下。
"The food bank that we are today is vastly different than the food bank we were on March 12," Altfest said. "But now that we've settled into our new normal, so to speak, we're very much looking long-term."
他说:“我们今天的粮食银行与3月12日的时候已经大不相同了。“但现在我们已经适应了新常态，可以说，我们的目光非常长远。”
