About a month after the coronavirus pandemic reached San Diego County, a family in Normal Heights found a beautiful way to help their neighbors in need.
Knowing times were hard and many locals were facing job loss and food insecurity, Elisa Muchmore decided to, well, do much more. She transformed her driveway into a free farmers market offering fruit, vegetables and other supplies to anyone who needed a little bit of help. Communities are banding together to make sure their neighbors have their healthy meals. NBC 7 s Melissa Adan has more.
“You don’t know who in your neighborhood is elderly; you don’t know who is sick,” Muchmore said. “You don’t know who actually need help and I think people assume somebody else is helping them until you realize that nobody is.”
