Programs and services set up in NYC to house
the homeless and feed
those in need, are being put to the test with an increase in demand post
Superstorm Sandy. Once charity that has stepped up to the challenge of helping feed
New Yorkers impacted by the storm is 4-star
City Harvest (featured as “Charity of the Week” in this week’s issue of The Week). This week alone, the charity reports that their
trucks will deliver hundreds of thousands of pounds of food to emergency food
programs across with city, including 11,000 turkeys.
Of course, food
banks in NJ are seeing a similar increase in demand for their services post
Sandy. The 4-star charity, Food
Bank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties, says it distributed food for more than 1 million meals since Sandy hit. Another 4-star charity, the Community
FoodBank of New Jersey is providing a daily distribution of more than 100,000
pounds of food to families facing loss and rebuilding since the storm.
You can find more information about these three charities,
as well as many others responding to Superstorm Sandy, on our site here.
