1, 2 punch of going on
right now is because now we
are we seeing an increased
need among the community in
southwest, Missouri is that
we're seeing a decrease
availability of food and as
well as getting more expensive
demands going up supplies
going down exactly who yes
it's become a very difficult
situation for students is
costing us much more. But it
has in previous years to try
to keep up with the demand
that we're seeing across do
you do owe it to anything in
particular or is it just the
natural ebb and flow things
it's kind of a combination of
the pandemic and people are
struggling with unemployment
and the show with other
financial demands at the same
time or they're even going
back to jobs that were once
full time in our part time so
it's just become a perfect
storm for people that have
