IRVINE, Calif.—Orange County’s food pantries and homeless shelters have seen an increase in daily visitors amid COVID-19’s economic impacts, according to Share Our Selves (SOS) Director of Social Services Michael McGlinn.

“There not only are more people that are coming by to pick up food for their lunches at work and more elderly stopping by nowadays, there are also more people coming to SOS who have never been to a food pantry before,” McGlinn told The Epoch Times.
