Oppressive Heat Edition — Yellville Area Food Closet
By midmorning, an unrelenting wave of heat settles over the Yellville Area Food Closet parking lot, pressing down on volunteers and clients alike. The temperature does not fluctuate; it simply hangs in the air, dense and unmoving, turning the ground into a slowcooking surface. Volunteers pace their work carefully, taking measured breaths before lifting boxes and sharing quiet moments of camaraderie as they navigate conditions that test both stamina and patience.
