Corona Chronicles: Greer Relief

During the COVID-19 pandemic, more and more people have fallen on hard times and had to rely on food pantries and government support to be able to keep their homes and stay safe. As the US faces record unemployment, TIME Magazine reports that food banks across the country are facing even more financial challenges, or even shutting down. In today’s edition of Columbia Chronicles, reporter Michael Gallagher introduces us to the executive director of a food bank in the upstate that has had to adapt to this pandemic.
