WITH baby formula in short supply across the US, Massachusetts-based pharmacy owner, Abram Agayby, is taking matters into his own hands.
Focused on making a difference in his community, Agayby said that once his wholesaler couldn't get formula for his store, he turned to his local Target store, before stocks dried up completely.
"It was nowhere to be found, no updates on when it would be available," he said.
"Then paediatricians started calling saying 'what to we do?'"
Agayby found a solution, when his daughter stopped using formula, and he decided to give away excess supplies he had a home.
"I gave up my stash, then I figured somebody had stash at their house and they'd love to give it away as long as we can find an avenue for it," he said.
"I always use Facebook when I need help locally, so I posted on a group and said look there are parents out there that have formula and parents that need formula.
"People don't feel comfortable meeting each other, meeting a random stranger, but people feel comfortable coming here."
