By Angélica Acevedo
Senator Jessica Ramos is continuing her free fresh food and hot meals distribution in partnership with New York state farms and local street food vendors to help feed her most vulnerable constituents.
On Friday, May 8, Ramos will distribute more bags with locally sourced fruits and vegetables at her district office, located at 32-37 Junction Boulevard in East Elmhurst. The new distribution time is 4 p.m. and will last until food runs out, with people ages 65 and up given priority.
To provide residents with much needed bags of produce, Ramos has partnered with Northeast Dairy Producers Association, as well as Upstate Farms, Dairy Farmers of America, Crist Brothers Orchard, Torrey Farms, New York State Vegetable Growers Association and New York Farm Bureaus.
