Princess Fuller runs the nonprofit in honor of her godfather, who was a veteran. She says the organization desperately needs to find a new location.
“I’m really overwhelmed because we have to shut the doors,” she said. “Even all through COVID, we never closed. We never closed. We stayed active because we know there’s a need. The children are out of school now. They need meals on their table. They need help. The families are going through this high economy and stuff. This is a great help to them all free of charge.”

The nonprofit has created a fundraising page for those wishing to help.
