It has been about eight months since Trump signed the CARES Act and negotiations over another deal have been ongoing for five months.

Food bank volunteers and local officials are begging the federal government to pass a second stimulus package before Thanksgiving Day as covid-19 cases continue to spike in most parts of the country.

"These are unprecedented times, and whether it's a holiday or whether it's another Saturday, it's now up to volunteers to feed the people," she told CNN."This is an essential service ... that's being handled by volunteers because the federal government is failing to address basic safety nets for people."
