ROANOKE, Va. โ€“ Hundreds of kids in the Roanoke Valley will go to bed with full stomachs Tuesday. FarmBurguesa and Feeding Southwest Virginia handed out burgers, turkeys and groceries to 250 kids today at the Community Solutions Center on Melrose Avenue. Feeding Southwest Virginia CEO Pamela Irvine said the coronavirus pandemic has made people more generous than ever before. โ€œWeโ€™ve seen that generosity increase because people relate to the fact that I may not have something to eat today, whether I can afford to buy it and itโ€™s not available or I can not afford to buy it and I just have no other resources,โ€ explained Irvine. The center typically provides food for kids on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

ROANOKE, Va. - Save A Lot, a discount grocery store on Melrose Avenue in northwest Roanoke, abruptly closed for good Monday, further limiting food options for hundreds of people in the area. Now, I dont know what Im going to do.Traveling to grocery stores located farther away can be tough for many. Roanoke leaders have struggled to find potential grocery store owners to set up shop in some areas of the city. Neighbors said lots of elderly people and people using wheelchairs shopped at Save A Lot over the 11 years it was in business. Now, their choice is between dollar stores that may not have as many fresh options or paying to travel a little farther, if theyre able to do so.
