“‘The hardest thing to get if you’re in poverty is a stable home, and the second hardest thing to get is a bed,’ Dr. Bergel says. ‘It is harder to get a table on which to put the food than it is to get the food. So we get 500 calls a day here, and the majority of calls are from people who don’t have the basic necessities of life.’”
