‘Feeding the Hungry’ Campaign Every Friday
Feeding the Hungry: A Coronavirus Appeal
On March 23rd 2020, Congresswoman Nydia Velazquez's office brought to Muslim Community Patrol & Services's attention that senior citizen centers in Brooklyn were closing due to the coronavirus pandemic that hit recently America. These senior centers gradually received less meal deliveries - guests were sharing one meal between two people at one point - until the centers eventually closed due to the lockdown on New York City in accordance with the mandates and guidelines set forth for our collective wellbeing.
In response to this crisis, we are preparing meals for senior citizens and immunocompromised individuals in New York City who are in need of healthy meals every Friday. Please visit our fundraising page for more information and updates. If you would like to volunteer, please sign up via this form. If you would like to sponsor food items, please email feed@muslimcps.org.
Prior to the coronavirus outbreak, MCPS prepared and distributed 150 hot meals for the homeless in Manhattan every Friday. Under the current circumstances and out of an abundance of caution, we can no longer gather our volunteers to prepare meals and then distribute the packed meals in the city. However, in the spirit of #NewYorkTough we will continue to prepare fresh and healthy meals every week. Following that, the meals will be delivered by trained volunteers to senior citizens and individuals with a weakened immune system who are now homebound and in dire need of meals and assistance.
Pre-COVID-19 ‘Feeding the Hungry’ campaign
This program is temporarily paused as we are currently delivering meals to homebound senior citizens and immunocompromised individuals during the COVID-19 crisis.
We pack over 150 hot meals every Friday to provide those in need with a healthy meal. None of this would be possible without the help of our volunteers. Come and volunteer to feed the hungry with us!
VOLUNTEER SCHEDULE:
7 PM - 8 PM: PACKING MEALS AT MCPS HEADQUARTERS
9 PM - 10 PM: MEAL DISTRIBUTION BETWEEN 35TH STREET AND BROADWAY, MANHATTAN
