In the ongoing effort to combat food insecurity in neighborhoods disproportionately impacted during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, Councilman Francisco Moya teamed up with NAACP Corona-East Elmhurst, the Met Council and volunteers to distribute food boxes to families at the Malcolm X Day Care Center in Corona on Friday, May 7.
In addition to the fresh vegetables, fruit and poultry, families also received masks, hand sanitizers and information on where to get vaccinated in the district, where fewer people have received the inoculations to fight off the virus than most other neighborhoods across the five boroughs.
