Food Bank for NYC thankful to give Thanksgiving treats
Food Bank for NYC kicked off its Thankful to Give campaign on Monday, November 17, by distributing Thanksgiving turkeys and other trimmings to Coney Island residents affected by Hurricane Sandy.
In partnership with The River Fund, an organization geared toward fighting hunger, homelessness and poverty in neighborhoods across the city, Food Bank was able to distribute 350 turkeys and other extras to families in Coney Island still recovering from the Superstorm.
“We’ve been partners with the Food Bank for many years,” said Otto Starzmann, chief production officer of River Fund New York. “We are one of four agencies that assist the Food Bank in the Sandy-affected flood zones.”
