A Queens-based organization is working with Food Bank For New York City to help feed the borough’s hungry people.
A recent report from Food Bank showed that the city’s emergency food network has surged, with 91% of food pantries and soup kitchens reporting an increase in first-time visitors. The Francine A. LeFrak Foundation will be providing $350,000 in funding to expand the capacity of food pantries and soup kitchens serving high-need communities in Queens.
