Linda O'Rourke shops for clothes here. She can afford to keep her family dressed for as little as 50 cents. 

She's been out of a job since February.

"I think this has been a big test with everybody unemployed," said O'Rouke.

Jane Devol and her husband, Danny, are the ones who helping thousands of people to go on living with a little less stress.

"They have to make a choice. They either have to buy their medication or they buy food," said Jane Devol.

"You know, God has given us all a certain talent. If we don't use that talent that he gave us, we're wasting our  life," said Dannie Devol.

For 10 years, Danny has run the clothing and food pantry in Logan. It helps an average of 700 families each month.

Volunteers sort and distribute food, and help with the store.

People like Bob Lingo spent thousands of his own money for a fork lift, to lift spirits and feed the hungry.

"A lot of times you'll see people sitting in their cars receiving food with tears in their eyes and they say, 'We don't know what we would do without you people,'" said Lingo.

To get food, one has to qualify under federal guidelines and register with Danny Devol. The place runs solely through donations from individuals, companies or organizations.

"We have never solicited for funds, we don't plan to and that's the way the good Lord works," said Danny Devol.

The giving of money, time, food, clothing is important when many people are barley scraping by.

"You see people who have worked all of their lives and now have gone bankrupt and losing their homes and that's the hard part of it all," said Marily Sloan, with Second Harvest Food Bank.

One might ask Danny Devol, 83, why he would coordinate all of this work, donate his property, work endless hours day after day to care for complete strangers.

"We got the same type of food program when I was 7 years old, so I can remember doing that," he said.  "I thought, they helped us when I was young, now it's time to help somebody else."
