Abruptly departing from college amidst the outbreak in March motivated us to bring our skills and ideas from campus to our home communities. As an organization born from family and college connections, we are grateful to the students and alumni who have joined the team, started their own sister initiatives, and rallied around the cause.

It became increasingly clear that the next phase of the crisis was beginning -- one that required more restaurants to reopen to feed the growing ranks of New Yorkers experiencing food insecurity. So as the curve flattens here in NYC and ERs become less busy, Feed the Frontlines NYC is expanding our reach to individuals and families living and working in shelters and supportive housing residences.
