We've all heard stories about people being total jerks during the coronavirus crisis. From panic buying getting so out of control that no supplies are left for those who need it the most, to people hoarding ridiculous amounts of essential items and then reselling them with tripled price tags—this sort of behavior can easily make us feel even more depressed during these trying times. If you're feeling that this anxiety is getting to you, don't forget that these hardships can also bring out the best in people. Take, for instance, the owners and staff of this small local business—Castle's Garden Center located in Oakford, Pennsylvania. While so many people are self-isolating, some of them are left unable to get groceries, so Castle's Garden Center is delivering them food free of charge. Recently, its kind-hearted efforts received the recognition they deserve.
