Maria’s story

A wife and mother of four young children, Maria was devastated to lose her job as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Her husband works every day, but after paying their rent and expenses, their family has little money left for groceries. She told Ana, BBHH Programs Manager, how grateful she was for the wide variety of food her family now receives from the drive-thru Grocery Store. Ana assured Maria that even if she finds a job in the coming months, she and her family are welcome to continue visiting the Grocery Store until they are back on their feet. 

Lucia’s story

Stories like this are unfortunately not uncommon during this pandemic. Lucia’s husband also recently lost his job, and with no income, they are struggling to pay for rent and groceries for their three children under seven years old. Lucia has found stability at the drive-thru Grocery Store and even received diapers for her one year old child.
