As Manchester’s restaurants and hotels closed and other businesses shed workers in March, immigrants were among those who suddenly found themselves out of work.
Right as the coronavirus hit and people started to lose their jobs, Sarah Jane Knoy of the Granite State Organizing Project said she and other immigration advocates started to hear about people running out of food.
“We’re just uncovering this huge need for food because people who are undocumented do not qualify for stimulus checks or unemployment or any other services,” Knoy said.
