As the city continues to reopen from the pandemic, Corona is still dealing with the aftermath of COVID-19, including widespread food insecurity.

In the latest series of food distributions in his district, Councilman Francisco Moya, together with youth volunteers, provided hot meals and food items to more than 200 families at Our Lady of Sorrows on Friday, July 16.

In an effort to support area restaurants throughout the pandemic, Moya allocated $50,000 to Hispanic Federation to prepare 5,000 meals for food-insecure families and older New Yorkers in East Elmhurst and Corona.
