Common Pantry, which uses a market model to serve people struggling with food insecurity, opened a new facility in North Center Thursday.
"I'm so happy for them," said Rosie Cruz, who uses Common Pantry to get food for her family. "The church was nice ad everything but this, this is like a lottery."
"They can walk in, there are stairs, they talked about having a light filled room there is lots of natural light," she said."This is unprecedented," said O'Connor. "I think everybody feels the pressure, all of our peers are seeing unprecedented numbers coming through."
