Beginning the first week of May, Kips Bay staff opened the food pantries to hand out nutritious food packages with pasta, tomato sauce, juice, vegetables and fruits, cereal, canned soup, canned tuna fish and Nutri-grain bars.
The food pantries have been open for two hours once a week and have been serving approximately 800 households each week.
The demand for the food pantry services has been high, especially at the Coudert Clubhouse (located in the West Bronx), and they seek to continue this programming for as long as possible to meet the community’s significant needs.
