“It affects everybody on every level,” said Brandy Wallar, director of New Visions Homeless Services. Demand is greater, yet the shelter has to limit numbers to allow for social distancing, she said. As of early December, the shelter’s 64 beds were full, and additional men were using its overflow area. “We try to keep overflow at 30,” which is less than it often was before the pandemic, she said. The number of people using the shelter’s food pantry is three times the usual level, Wallar said. “Last month alone, 10,534 community members went through our drive-thru pantry,” she said. New Visions held a large food giveaway on Oct. 29 at the Mid-America Center, Wallar said. The organization may try to do that again.
