GRASSROOTS EFFORT TO FEED HOLOCAUST SURVIVORS

On Friday, March 27, 2020, the YM&YWHA of Washington Heights & Inwood (the Y) served what it thought were its last grab-and-go and delivered meals to neighborhood seniors, as New York City’s Department for the Aging was taking over all citywide senior meal provisions to help prevent the further spread of COVID-19. Within days, however, the Y realized some seniors didn’t receive the promised food packages; some of them couldn’t access the canned food, as they didn’t have the strength or tools to open it; and many of them would not be sustained by what was delivered.
