NYC’S 1ST RESCUE MISSION & NYC’S 1ST CHINESE COUNCILMEMBER (ELECT) FEED CHINATOWN

NYC Rescue Mission’s Monthly Food Pantry provides food assistance to poor/hungry families in Lower Manhattan, especially Chinatown. These families belong to the poorest population in NYC--ie. those who live below the poverty line; they seek food help from NYCRM’s 3rd-Saturday-of-the-month pantry to help make ends meet. Chinese-language-proficiency volunteers, such as recently elected Margaret Chin, are helpful during the 9:45am-11:45pm distribution of grocery bags, each of which contains 7 meals’ worth of food (including a balance of meat, vegetable, and starch). 50 preselected families.
