Thank you Arna for doing such a great job.

Not enough meals today!

Trying to fix the issues but everyone should have realistic expectations.

I think it's because of the location issue

I went all the way to the parkside location today and they had many leftovers at 1pm. Now that both locations will be near the Jewish area of Crown heights they will probably be enough.

Thank you Laurie Cumbo

Is there any arrangement for these people

I believe in the next week or so there will be deliverys through the CHJCC. You can call them to check. There is also a program in the community on whatsapp called Ze la Ze.
In addition there is a group on facebook called Mutual Aid Crown Heights. Not sure if they do free, but they do do errands.

Thanks!

I appreciate the work of these community leaders in listening to even the smaller concerns of the community. This will be helpful for my family.
Remember to be kind and grateful to the workers if you come to pick up lunch.

I picked up meals in brooklyn, where I work. The meals have been the same every day. If my kids don’t like chumus there is nothing but a roll as substantial food. I wish they would have a choice or every day a different menu so we can really use it.
