Hundreds of cars filled the parking lot waiting for the mass food distribution to begin. I ve been unemployed since the beginning of the pandemic. It s been really rough, said Latonya Dunlap, a Fayetteville mother of three.
Dunlap was out the door by 6 a.m. to be first in line. She was evicted this year and said it s been a trying time for her family as two of her daughters have been in and out of the hospital. When asked how she s made it through the year, she said she s barely survived. Literally prayer. My unemployment ran out and there s just no other assistance, said Dunlap.
