What they’re saying

“We are able to provide them completely free groceries, or things that are necessary for them, so we are thinking of their grains, their rice, their beans, potatoes, meats of all kinds, so that way, we are able to offset some of their cost on groceries, so they can also have some breath room for themselves.”

— Joseph Rodriguez, Market Programs manager
