#261 Great.com Talks With… ALIVE

Food and basic necessities seem like an everyday thing that we take for granted, but some people do not have these basic needs. Having to worry about your next meal, anxious but whether you’ll have a roof over your head in the coming days, or not having any furniture in your home is a problem that no one should have to go through. In this episode, we talk with Jennifer Ayers and Eric Winakur from ALIVE about providing these basic needs for families that are going through some rough times.

Services, Family Assistance, Food: Basic Needs Provided By Alive

Food security has always been a problem before the pandemic even in a country as developed as the US, and the pandemic has only magnified this issue further with people suddenly being out of work. Hundreds of families, as a result, have started to fall behind on rent, or simply do not have any money to have food on the table. Ayers and her organization, Alive!, believes that these families need a safety net; to help them keep their finances stable, the organization provides food for these beleaguered families that have been hit badly, financially speaking, during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Cora Kelly Elementary School: The Hub for Alive

These days, Alive is hosted by Cora Kelly Elementary school, where they have "truck to trunk" food distribution programs to help out those in need. This family assistance food program is helping families pull through in the pandemic. Listen to the whole interview to find out how you can be part of providing for our fellows in Alexandria..
