COVID-19: On the Front Lines with St. Vincent de Paul’s Alex Handy

For many people in need on the Mid-Shore, whether it be food or other essential needs, St. Vincent de Paul has been the go-to organization for more than two decades. Running one of the most used food banks on the Eastern Shore, St. Vincent has been playing a critical role in providing over 400 families with basic food needs. And now, with the coronavirus threatening the most vulnerable, the Spy thought it would be a good time for a check-in with its leadership. 

This morning, we sat down with St. Vincent’s president, Alex Handy, to provide an update as Maryland faces a surge of more families, many of them paycheck to paycheck, needing their help.
