Addressing Soaring Food Prices

Ramona, a hard-working single mother and a skilled barber volunteered at VOA Western Washington’s Lake Stevens Community Resource Center giving free haircuts to kids and neighbors in need. Ramona’s life came to a sudden halt after the pandemic. Struggling with the skyrocketing food and gas prices, she could no longer afford the rising cost of milk and basic foods. On the brink of homelessness, Ramona received essential food and rental assistance, while she continued to get back up on her feet.
