“It's bad, it's bad. In our neighborhoods, in our black neighborhoods they’re taking resources that people need. I mean a market, a Giant at that. We didn’t hear about anything being replaced. How many chicken box stores can you have. They don’t fill prescriptions. We don’t have local pharmacies in the neighborhood like we used to,” said Andeidra Bell Bunch, a Baltimore city resident.
Bunch is the owner of Cupsey Cakesy. She's working with Borden Transportation to offer a free shuttle service to transport people to the nearest supermarket.
"This is a labor of love because this my community. I grew up here. This impacts me and my family, my parents are older. This is a walking neighborhood, there’s a lot of elderly people who no longer drive,” says Bunch.
People are being referred to the remodeled giant's store on Wilkens Avenue in the Wilkens Beltway Plaza. However, Bunch says that’s still an inconvenience for people without transportation.
