The occasional role\u00a0has required her to take on a few added responsibilities, such as weighing parole decisions and calling the families of law enforcement officers who have died \u2014\u00a0along with the ever-present possibility of something unforeseen happening.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"gnt_em gnt_em_anc\" id=\"gnt_atomsnc\" data-g-r=\"lazy\" data-gl-method=\"loadAnc\" aria-label=\"Newsletter signup form\">\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">\u201cWhen you&#8217;re on duty, you have to be prepared for anything, and so I take that responsibility very seriously,\u201d Kounalakis said after her tour.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"gnt_ar_b_h2\">Inflation means more people are food-insecure\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Her visit also came as the demand for accessible food in the Coachella Valley has skyrocketed since the COVID-19 pandemic began.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">The regional food bank had been serving around 85,000 people per month before the arrival of COVID-19, and that number jumped to 190,000 per month at the height of the pandemic, according to Kayleen Sullivan, FIND&#8217;s\u00a0development and community relations coordinator.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">\u201cDuring this time, we know that inflation has gone up and grocery prices are rising, so a big part of what we try to do a FIND Food Bank is supplement those groceries for people who are food insecure, so they can pay for other necessities like rent, electrical bills, gas,\u201d Sullivan said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Even with COVID-19 vaccines available and case numbers well below previous highs, FIND Food Bank, which covers much of eastern Riverside County and southern San Bernardino County and assists 90% of the valley&#8217;s nonprofits, is still providing food to roughly 150,000 each month \u2014\u00a0a level of demand that Sullivan doesn\u2019t expect to go away.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">\u201cWe don\u2019t anticipate it going down very soon, especially with people going back to work, the rising cost of living in California, inflation,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s really landing on those people who are working and trying to make ends meet, so that\u2019s why we\u2019re here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">At the state level, Kounalakis was hopeful that California can continue some of the support programs started during the COVID-19 pandemic into next year, especially given this week&#8217;s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.desertsun.com\/story\/news\/2021\/11\/18\/california-state-government-spending-budget-surplus-taxes-rebates\/8672634002\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-t-l=\":b|e|inline click|${u}\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\" data-feathr-click-track=\"true\">news<span>\u00a0<\/span><\/a>that California is predicted to have a $31 billion budget surplus for the 2022 fiscal year.<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<aside aria-label=\"advertisement\" class=\"gnt_m gnt_x gnt_x__lbl gnt_x__al\">\n<div data-g-r=\"lazy\" data-gl-method=\"lazyLoadX\" id=\"ad-slot-7103-ca-palmsprings-C1082-native-article_link-news-politics-4\" class=\"gnt_x_sl gnt_x_al\" data-google-query-id=\"CJjKst7kvPQCFW0T-QAdEooLQQ\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_7103\/ca-palmsprings-C1082\/native-article_link\/news\/politics_2__container__\">While Newsom won\u2019t release his budget proposal until January, Kounalakis was supportive of more direct payments to Californians struggling to get by.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">\u201cThe Golden State stimulus, which sent checks to millions of California families, helped them get through this unprecedented crisis \u2026 and small businesses, which were hurt during the pandemic, I hope there will be additional support for them for next year,\u201d Kounalakis said. &#8220;The budget surplus has been a very good tool for this,\u00a0and we need to continue to extend those policies.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Kounalakis was also optimistic that the federal infrastructure bill recently passed in Washington, along with the Build Back Better Act that awaits a vote in the Senate, could help lower California\u2019s unemployment rate, which she noted is higher than the nationwide average.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"gnt_em gnt_em_img\"><img class=\"gnt_em_img_i\" data-g-r=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Lt.
