וואס טוט ווען וויליאמסבורג אן די מעד קאנסול

Our food program helps more than 100,000 hungry and destitute New Yorkers per year. These include the homeless, those in crisis, recent immigrants, and the elderly. Our centralized food distribution system, operated in conjunction with the local Jewish Community Councils and other community-based organizations across the city, includes a number of neighborhood outlets and pantries, as well as monthly food packages and food vouchers redeemable in local supermarkets. We work especially hard during the holidays, providing communal meals as well as family packages and supermarket vouchers. With funding supplied by a combination of government and foundation grants, Met Council's trucks and vans allow us to more easily pick up donated food and distribute packaged meals to needy households. The purchase of these vehicles enabled the agency to significantly increase the volume of food distributed on an annual basis.
