CLOVIS, Calif. (KFSN) -- On this busy Clovis street, surrounded by homes and bustling cars, sits a table of hope.
"I was thinking about how long it's been since people have been around without food and I couldn't stand around and do anything anymore," said resident Sandra Chavez.
From canned goods to bread and water, Chavez, an unemployed single mother of four said she wanted to help families impacted by the government shutdown.
"We shouldn't be watching anybody struggle right now if we could help each other. If you have a box, two boxes, I can just put it out, you don't know who you're gonna feed next," said Chavez.
From laid-off federal workers to families who can't drive to food banks, Chavez shares, she's seen it all since setting up this makeshift pantry on Thursday.
