Two months ago, the Woodville road Save-a-Lot in east Toledo closed its doors for the last time.
Save-a-Lot was the last store in the area that carried fresh produce.
The lack of access to fresh produce has resulted in what's called a food desert.
"[There's] no fresh food, no fresh vegetables, or anything like that in this neighborhood," said Alfonso Narvaez, a community activist who is trying to bring attention to the issue.
That lack of food resources is now putting a major strain on area residents.
For non-drivers in particular the change is crippling.
Chris Eames is one of those locals who doesn't have access to a car, and he says getting groceries has now become incredibly challenging for him and his family.
