This Friday, August 19th at 10:00 AM ET, Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of New York will distribute 200 boxes of dry goods, dairy, and produce to local families in need at St. Benedict's Church in the Bronx. This event is the latest in a series of pop-up food pantries hosted by Catholic Charities to support New Yorkers experiencing food insecurity – a persistent citywide challenge that has been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic and the rising costs of living. Since the start of the pandemic, Catholic Charities of New York has distributed nearly 11 million meals to individuals and families in need with the help of donors and partners.
