Pandemic Struggles: The Impact on Homelessness and Hunger

Different times, Janice, different clients, different times, different needs. And so it works and it's everybody working together, because, as we've all said, Janice, we all know we're all in this together and the only way we're going to get out of it is unless we all work together right, absolutely, absolutely.
When COVID-19 hit, it brought more than just a health crisis; it exposed and deepened existing vulnerabilities in our communities. In this episode of 'Life Unscripted', host Janice Arnoldi sits down with Betty Lou Souter from Community Care St. Catharines-Thorold to discuss the pandemic's toll on those who are homeless and food-insecure. Just a month into the pandemic, food banks were already seeing a surge in demand.
Betty Lou shares the heart-wrenching reality of trying to meet this need, especially the challenge of providing fresh food during such uncertain times. The conversation highlights how the crisis has made it clear that collaboration and adaptability are crucial. Betty Lou’s dedication shines through as she talks about her team's efforts to support the community, showing that even in the darkest times, there are people working tirelessly to help others.
Janice and Betty Lou remind us that by coming together, we can navigate these tough times and make a real difference. Tune in to hear their inspiring discussion and learn how you can be part of the solution.
