KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WATE) The coronavirus pandemic has stretched many nonprofit agencies over the last 16 months. For example, the demand for food hit historic highs during the first three months of 2020 and continues to remain high in 2021.

The program continues today, but the challenge will be continued funding through federal and state programs to feed the vulnerable.

One of the awesome admin team, Heidi Tsao, has been doing Green Door posts amplifying our local businesses and someone suggested a specific business to her and mentioned that they were concerned about them and suggested she may be able to highlight them, says Bradley. We realized there were more than a few businesses in the same situation. Not to take away anything from restaurants and some other retail businesses in our neighbourhood, but some businesses are completely closed. No takeout, no, or very little, curbside or even 100 per cent closed due to lockdown restrictions.
