Well. These businesses are hoping that all changes coming up on monday when San Francisco reopens the door for Retail Businesses but in a new way with Curbside Pickup as well as delivery still many of the stores are concerned about the challenges ahead.

With stores on fillmore street and a visit arrow. Well glad to be reopening after shelter orders forced a 2 month retails shut down. He says Curbside Pickup and delivery provides additional challenges for a clothing store. The reason why coming to a close the stories you want to try things on see how fabric feels seahawk being straight with your body. Tried a couple of different same size is because some things always come slightly different and so you know were not going be able to pry provide that opportunity for a consumer anymore as a result when these covered up windows are opened again. It will feature different types of displays and Assembly Hall will also be turning to social media platforms like instagram to help fill the gap with videos. The boys had a a knack for presentation skills and talking about what the next product is now. You know being able to utilize that but really sell it to the consumer about how soft it is how the state were going to lise mannequins to show different states and different headed rates will probably even use ourselves as our own models so that people know how it gets us and what size that we wear. Still retailers like the need as are concerned that longterm Curbside Pickup and delivery wont be sustainable to pay the rent pay employees and people lights on. We will have a honeymoon phase. But it i think whats going to happen is were going to get our loyal supporters are neighborhood customers whove been following us on our social Media Channels that are out there to support. But i dont think its something next week and sustain, especially up clothing retailer for the long term. And because people dont know how long covid19 will be around or its strength and its resurgent that means no one knows how long this Curbside Pickup will be around and its that uncertainty which creates uneasiness for retailers in San Francisco.

Thats right justine of the cathedral of faith food pantry in san jose is seeing 4 times as many people as usual many are families with children, lets take a look. Once again today, hundreds of cars arrived here at san joses cathedral of faith church where the food pantry is going through a months worth of groceries every week says pastor jim gallagher. For the month of april we did 18,000 and us. We did 78,000 individuals and gave away if the demand continues cathedral of faith expects to serve some200,000 families by years end. Many are families as breadwinners have been furloughed or laid off because of the pandemic says gallagher a lot of these people are people that are grass the people that serve our coffee or you know they have and jobs restaurants and now you know jobs partnering with Second Harvest and other food banks cathedral of faith is also delivering thousands of food boxes to the elderly and others in need many of the 1200 people who showed up today might normally have gotten their food boxes and one of 38 Public Schools served by the Church Pantry well because all the schools are closed. We cant do that. And so those people on top of the people that we normally you are coming here, but a lot of them cant come soon and transportation. Theres a lot of fear i think theres still a lot of fear that fear is about getting sick of course, but also about whether the jobs and paychecks will come back and whether the food banks can continue to meet the demand amid worries about the food supply. We used to get about average 300 worth of groceries. Her family. Twice for months and his family got about 700 worth of groceries. Right now its probably more like 5 because theres not theres just not enough to know just as no one has been turned away, but a troubling sign is the fact that so many of those in need are families with children who may not be getting enough to eat says gallagher theres nothing worse than seeing absolute kills us because we want to use and im no child should have to worry about where their next meal is on a mission for it. Pastor gallagher tells me that typically thanksgiving and christmas are the busiest times for the food pantry which is open every tuesday and thursday morning there at the top of the hill of kirchner avenue in san jose now though he says every time the pantry is open.
