RESOURCES FOR FOOD AND TECHNOLOGY FOR THOSE WHO MAY NEED IT. (BY NILE FROM UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND)

I know that this past week has been tough, and many people are trying to find ways to cope with businesses and schools being closed. 

If you follow me on Instagram and have been watching my story, you have noticed that I have been posting food and technology resources for people to use or share with others.

I created a highlight reel on my Instagram page called "Resources," but I also wanted to create this list of resources so that you all can find everything in one place. Keep scrolling to see the list of resources for food and technology.
