Since the coronavirus has started, so many people are already
out of work. We're wanting to help supplement some of their life
so that if they can save some money on food, the money that they
save can put toward the rent or maybe a car payment or whatever
it is. A lot of the folks who are coming to us are individuals who
have never asked for assistance before and so it's very difficult for
them in this time.

I got reduced hours at work. I don't work like I used to. I got kids
at home and I want to make sure I got food in the house.

We have to schedule people so that we don't have a large
concentration of people and expose them to the potential virus.
We have right now, about average, about 15 to 20 families a day
and that's all we can handle at the present time. But also, we
have vulnerable adults, people with health issues or senior
citizens that cannot go to the store themselves. They call us and
we take it to the where they live. We knock on the door and they
open it. They get it. They don't have to touch anything and we
wear gloves to make sure that it's safe for them.

Army))
We are serving the lunch because of this virus. Now we are
giving boxes they're going to take with them, because we have to
keep the distance, six feet [2 m]. So, we can continue serving this
people because they are wonderful people, homeless. They
really need our help.
