Gainesville, Fla. (WCJB) -- Large gatherings and events are canceled all across North Central Florida this weekend as people try to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
But GRACE Marketplace must continue to provide services to hundreds while keeping their community safe from coronavirus.
Executive Director Jon DeCarmine said, "it's very difficult to quarantine somebody to their home when they don't have a home."

"If somebody on the grace campus does contract coronavirus we end up in a situation in where we have to make some tough decisions because if we were to prevent somebody from receiving services here, all we would be doing is forcing them out into the community since they don't have a safe place to call home."

YC-backed Giveaway is a peer-to-peer marketplace that uses virtual currency – TechCrunch
Users earn Karma coins each time they list an item on the website. Folks can then use that Karma to claim items listed on the app.
The first person to try to claim an item offers zero Karma for the item. From there, a countdown begins, allowing others to offer more Karma for the item until the clock runs out. The user who offered the most Karma gets to claim the item. They are then connected to the giver via the app and can set a time and place to meet for the transaction.

Why are people stockpiling toilet paper? - Marketplace
Every few months, Danielle DeSantis and her husband Robert go to a local Costco near Denver to stock up on things like meat, peanut butter and toilet paper. But when they went the other day?
“There was no toilet paper,” she said. “There was no paper towels. And a woman came up and asked, 'What about napkins? Are there napkins?' and the Costco employee just laughed at her.”
A friend told her that Home Depot, which apparently sells toilet paper, was still in stock. They bought a 12-pack of Charmin.
