AND WE PROVIDE THINGS LIKE SHOWERS, LAUNDRY. WE COORDINATE HAIR SERVICE. AND WE PROVIDE MEALS ON THE WEEKENDS. >> SO HOW HAS THE PANDEMIC IMPACTED YOUR OPERATIONS? >> WE HAVE SEEN A TREMENDOUS NUMBER OF CHANGES IN THE WAY THAT WE DO BUSINESS. LIKE MOST NONPROFIT AND OTHER BUSINESSES, WE HAD TO CHANGE OUR BUSINESS MOTTO DAILY TO AJUST TO THE NEEDS. WE'RE SCREENING EVERYBODY AS THEY COME IN.

THAT PROGRAM, WHEN WE OPENED IN APRIL OF 2019, WE SERVED 66,000 MEALS TO OUR FRIENDS IN NEED. AND WHAT IS INCREDIBLE ABOUT THE NUMBER IS THAT ALL OF THOSE MEALS WERE ACTUALLY PROVIDED BY VOLUNTEERS IN THE COMMUNITY THAT PROVIDED THE MEALS, BROUGHT THEM ON SITE TO OAK CITY CARES AND SERVED OUR FRIENDS TO NEEDED MEALS. SO OBVIOUSLY, WITH THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC AND STAY-AT-HOME ORDERS, WE'RE HAVING TO NOW REALLY LOOK AT NEW OPTIONS FOR HOW WE CAN PROVIDE HEALTHY, NOURISHMENT TO OUR FRIENDS AND THAT INCLUDES LOOKING AT WAYS THAT WE CAN PURCHASE FOOD. >> A BIG CONCERN FOR YOU AND, KATHY.

NO ONE WANTS TO BE IN NEED. THE PROGRAMS ARE MEANT TO MAKE PEOPLE THEY CAN COME IN AND KNOW THAT WE WILL PROVIDE A SPACE WHERE THEY COULD EASE THEIR PROBLEMS THEMSELVES. BUT OUR DOORS CLOSED, WE ARE NOT STOPPING THE SERVICES. OUR CLIENT CHOICE PANTRY, WHICH WAS THE LARGEST IN RALEIGH, HAD BEEN SERVING CLOSE TO 45 OR 50 FAMILIES A DAY. BUT WE CONVERTED THAT SO I CURBSIDE SERVICES. AND MANY THAN 70 FAMILIES A DAY ARE OUTSIDE AND WE'RE GIVING THEM FOOD WITHOUT HAVING FACE- TO-FACE CONTACT. >> WHAT IS THE BIGGEST NEED THAT YOU HAVE RIGHT NOW? >> FOOD AND, HEALTH CARE AND A WAY TO SERVE THE HOMELESS, HOMELESS SHELTERS WITHOUT THEM GETTING EXPOSED TO OTHERS THAT MIGHT HAVE THE VIRUS SO THIS RELIEF FUNDS ALLOWED THE COMMUNITY TO FIND A WAY TO DONATE AND GET THE DOLLARS WHERE THEY ARE MOST NEEDED.
