And in these circumstances we all wonder...
How will we pay our debts if we lose our job?
The important thing is....
Do not despair!
Because there are solutions.
Luisa Hurtado give us some.
Given the progression of infections
the mandatory closure is getting closer.
The well-being of the family must be ensured in times of quarantine.
Starting with having your nearest food bank located.
Food bank?
Farm Share distributes free food throughout the state of Florida.
Through the internet they announce the events
where you can pass by with your car
and without the need to present your ID,
you can receive food.
They shouldn't touch anything.
They open the trunk,
we put the products,
we close it...
If you can't go, just enter your zip code,
you can find the nearest distribution agency.
Okay, I'm going to pause this.
Friends, did I listen well?
Food Bank...
Nearest distribution agency...
This has impressed me.
Since I live here in the USA
I had never heard of a food bank.
And even less here in Miami.
Let's get to see on that website
to see what we investigate...
♪♪♪
Hi everyone!
How are you?
I hope you are very well.
Welcome to my channel!
I am Oscar Alejandro.
And dear friends,
dear adventurers...
Faced with this new reality,
there are many questions that we have in our heads.
Many people have anguish,
uncertainty,
despair...
Because nobody knows what is going to happen.
So many world leaders have said
in order for everything to return to normal
it could even take up to four months.
It seems to me
that if we do a really good job...
People talk about July, August...
Something like that...
And among the many questions that overwhelm us in our heads.
Obviously, the economic issue...
This is one of the things that worries us the most.
So many have lost their jobs.
Many other business owners have been forced to shut down.
And how are we going to pay the rent?
How are we going to pay the car fees?
And the most important...
When we run out of money...
What are we going to live on?
What are we going to eat?
This news that we just saw on television...
It is surprising me a lot.
Because I didn't know that here in Florida,
and specifically in Miami,
these food banks existed.
Where as we just saw, anyone even without identification,
supposedly he can go and give him a package of food.
So as you can imagine,
this has filled me with a lot of curiosity.
And what do you think if we check it together to see how it works.
Let's get into the internet first of all.
www.farmshare.org.
Woao! Look, it's real.
And we see that it is a fairly established web page,
which apparently is from a non-profit organization.
And let's get on the menu...
"Food distribuions".
Upcoming food distributions in your neighborhood.
We see here, March 2020.
And immediately we see tomorrow's date
that there are several canceled events.
But, from what I can see,
there is one that is near my house.
And it says: "Farm Share Liberty City",
We hit it there...
And effectively what I could realize is that there is an event tomorrow Wednesday 25
from 10:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m.
And what strikes me most is what says:
"DRIVE-THRU DISTRIBUTION (NO WALK UPS)".
I mean, nobody can walk.
Only through the vehicle.
And a rather special note:
"Due to this disease,
we ask that all attendees
remain in their vehicle
with their windows up
and trunk open".
In other words, we can go there safely.
Here is the address.
Here is the map.
So we can only wait until tomorrow
to see how this works.
The next day...
♪♪♪
Well friends...
We are ready.
As always, remember every time you go out of the house,
always wear a mask.
But I think I can take it off here
since we are inside the car very safe.
Here is the map...
And as I can see, we are 12 minutes away.
It is very close.
We hit "go".
We activate the map...
We are going to check several things like, for example,
how the curfew is working here in Miami.
According to the authorities,
we can only go out to the market,
to the pharmacy or to very specific errands.
So let's see how the street is.
If the police are complying with this regulation.
And folks, obviously I want to ask you for a super special favor.
And is that if you like my videos
the best way to support the work I do
is by subscribing to this YouTube channel,

And it would be great if you activated the bell
so that YouTube alerts you every time I upload a new video.
So are we ready, dear friends!
Dear adventurers!
Let's see what we find...
♪♪♪
Well friends, we are already arriving at the place.
And what strikes me is that everything that is happening
happens inside that parking lot...
We see that it is quite crowded.
There the people are already preparing with the trunk of the car open.
There are quite a few people.
Hello sir... To go over there?
"To go over there you have to make a U-turn and get in line".
Okay.
Woao!
There are more people than I thought.
All this line of vehicles is preparing to enter that place.
I can count...
About...
Approximately 100 cars.
Wait... I can't believe how impressive the line of vehicles is.
I counted like 100 but here there are much more.
You can see there is a lot of information everywhere.
And people have known about this for a long time.
So hey, let's get to the end of the line
and we will count how long it takes to get there and get in.
Well, I think we're getting to one of the ends of the line.
Friends, I do not know if this mission will be possible today.
Because, I have counted more than 500 vehicles.
And the row has 3 points...
And we are simply in one of them.
I want to show you, it is exactly 10:33 a.m.
I am already know that this operation will last until 1:00 p.m.
That is, if that time comes and vehicles are left outside...
We will not receive anything today.
So well friends, we have no choice but to wait
to find out if they might give us our food box.
Some patience.
♪♪♪
Food Bank.
Friends, we are right at the entrance
where they are delivering the food box for people.
In my case, I couldn't stand in line because it was too late.
Fact number 1!
Important fact!
It is if you want to come to these activities
arrive long before the hour.
For example, it was 10:00 a.m.
I recommend that you come at 8:00 a.m.
so you can have access.
What is true is that I have already spoken to the authorities,
with the police...
And they let me show to all of you how this happens in there.
Come with me.
♪♪♪
See how the cars are already prepared with the trunk open,
because the idea is that drivers do not have any kind of contact with
the staff of this food market.
Here we see this vehicle already prepared.
We see this other.
And here we see a lady who is giving directions to that next vehicle.
♪♪♪
Okay, we're just getting to the point
where the staff starts to put there...
For example, we see a gallon of milk.
Later we see that they put some fruits.
I think they are like apples or tangerines.
We see that there is some chicken.
And there are some canned beans as well.
It is a fairly quick procedure
and they are ready to continue.
♪♪♪
What is your name?
Ahslee Moore. Marketing Director, Farm Share.
- Nice to meet you Ashlee. - Nice to meet you.
Do you know for how many people have food for today?
This is for 500 households.
I mean, yes, we start at 10:00 a.m.
and it's first-come, first-served.
We distribute a variety of items.
It can be fresh products,
milk,
canned goods,
products...
Lots of different things.
At this station we're also distributing pet food as well.
So we have dog and cat food in here.
- Ashlee, thank you very much. - You're welcome, thanks for having us.
Everything is fine.
Here waiting for all the people to pass.
And that they get their food
and have a good time here.
Trying to keep us all safe.
♪♪♪
Something that I found extremely interesting
it is that in this operation they also give food for dogs and kittens.
So, your pets are not going to be left out
if you need it.
♪♪♪
I'm going to go a little bit to keep the social distance...
A prudent distance.
And to be able to remove the mask to tell you
That these, friends, seemed wonderful to me.
In these times of crisis,
it seems to me that this type of operation helps many people
that it's running out of money.
And that logically they need to eat.
As you can see, the procedure is quite fast.
Each of us arrives,
no one has contact with the people in the operation.
No one gets out of the vehicle.
You open the trunk and very quickly
they put the food there in the back.
I am sure that this information will be very useful to many people.
So feel free to share this video with your friends
through Whatsapp chains,
through Facebook,
Instagram...
And, of course, if you want to find more information
and if you want to know where the next operation will be near you.
