NEW YORK — The Met Council on Jewish Poverty helped organize Rosh Hashanah meals on Manhattan’s East Side on Sunday.
Anyone who needs them can order those meals online.
“We have constituents who need food and they can order their food online and we pack it for them and deliver it for them. So we’ve revolutionized the way we deliver food to low-income New Yorkers, which is really incredible. No more lines, no more waiting, no more food waste and just a tremendous amount of dignity,” said David Greenfield, CEO of Met Council.
Dozens of volunteers spent the day preparing the food, which will be sent to more than 140,000 New Yorkers.
The Met Council operates the nation’s largest digital food pantry system.
