I had to go out and go food shopping because my boyfriend told me that his boss is closing down the work place for 4 weeks and we should stuck up I had to to go to 6 different stores and all the food was mostly gone I got what little food I can and mostly junk food because that's all I could 😭 with every buddy taking everything it's hard for me to get what my family needs 😭😭😭 this coronavirus is making my depression and anxiety extremely high because every thing is closed and no food or anything to help take care of my family because people are buying everything 😭😭😭😭😭😭

hi I feel for you its tough getting what you need our big stores are over 2 miles away and as soon as they open the shelves are cleared we have to rely on public transport and that makes it harder might pick up though now kids are off school but that means walking at 6am as we don't have public transport at that time.i had a list today and got nothing on it shopping wise apart from steamed veg.

OMG! What part of the country are you in that the stores are stripped clean? Supplies are down here in norCA but there is still plenty of food--just no TP, paper towels, and hand sanitizer. Sorry you have to go through this. It's hard. It's unlike anything I've experienced. Maybe order online groceries??

It’s happening everywhere. Shelves are bare here too. They can’t keep up with the high demands.

I understand. I tried getting food the other day after work and most items were gone (bread, pasta, frozen dinners/veggies, peanut butter, etc.). I just grabbed a few things which is challenging because I'm also trying to shop for my mom (she is over 65 and should not go out). I'm in OC California and I hear it's better to shop first thing in the morning. I thought my last resort could be food banks/churches. This is crazy!
