Nevada Week | Food Insecurity Among Local Seniors

SEASON 2: EPISODE 52| Airdate: 7/10/2020

Long description: COVID-19 has hit our local senior population especially hard. As the most vulnerable population, many have been cooped up in their homes since March, unable to fulfill their basic needs. In this difficult time, food insecurity is being exacerbated. We discuss the resources available for those in need, plus, how you can help keep our senior population fed.
