That being said we have also had new families ever since we were reopened during the COVID crisis. Today there were two new families both had 5 members in the family.

Since St. Mary's Food bank changed the policy for two boxes a month to a box each week we see many families on a weekly basis. Some are senior citizens, others are grandparents who have taken their children and grandchildren back into their homes. Families are working together and living together in one household.
