From the very beginning of the pandemic, Team AOC has been working with local food relief organizations to support our neighbors and communities facing unemployment and struggling to put food on the table.
With your support, we’ve distributed more than 9,000 bags of groceries for families in New York. But this crisis is far from over, and as of right now, we’ve only raised enough for these community partners to get extra food boxes to families through the end of this June.
Here’s a bit more about the groups you’re supporting:
Loving the Bronx is a volunteer-run organization that works day and night to provide organic, fresh, healthy food to the community and keep their three community fridges stocked. They also provide grocery bags of food to those in need.
The Bronx Jewish Community Council operates the largest food pantry in the East Bronx. They distribute over 1,200 food packages per month, which include three meals a day for three days for each member of the household. No person is turned away.
Elmcor is a 50+ year old service organization started by Black Panthers, feeding families in East Elmhurst and Corona in Queens.
If you can’t afford it right now, please don’t worry. We know that you’ll give back when you can, in whatever ways you can.
We appreciate your support.
– Team AOC
