The April 15 Town Crier presents dramatic contradictions. In a photo on the front page, a young man and child are out for a run and bike ride; neither has a face mask. Also on page 1: photos of teddy bears in windows and an article about the fun of a teddy bear search.
I enjoyed the editorial in the April 1 Town Crier with all the thumbs-ups. I would like to add one more.
We face a mounting humanitarian crisis in Mountain View. Our seniors, disabled and homeless are facing hunger now at a rapidly increasing rate. Many are no longer working and have limited or no incomes. Many seniors are isolated at home and afraid to go shopping.
Our local nonprofits, such as Hope’s Corner and Community Services Agency, are working overtime trying to meet the surge in demand. Unfortunately, they are limited in their ability to acquire food and prepare and distribute hot meals.
