We happened by the Episcopal Church in our town one Thursday, and we were astonished to see lines of cars in all directions during a food distribution there.

There was mention that food banks are often asked what is most needed and other than food, sanitary supplies and toilet paper are high on the list.

Next week we will have been in lockdown for a year. Our unemployment rate is horrific to say the least. Our major supermarkets have set up feeding schemes to provide food to those in need.
