Senior citizens left to rot by your city

Dear Crappy,
In recent days we have been made aware of a large number of seniors in desperate need of food. As more and more local stores and delis shut down, seniors have to travel further and further to find a grocery store, and even when one is open, there is a long line waiting outside. My husband runs a food pantry in Queens, and in normal (non-covid) times, only opens once a month. His pantry is on the 311 Emergency Food Provider list for our area (Elmhurst), and this past week he has been inundated with calls from agencies/social workers trying to find help for their clients, as well as desperate ppl calling for themselves because they have nowhere else to turn. Today my husband walked a shopping cart full of food to a 94-yr-old homebound lady 30 blocks away. My question, what is the city doing to try to help people in need of food, especially vulnerable seniors? At this point, Senior Services workers are calling volunteer once-monthly food pantries looking for help. Attached is a photo from 311’s web site. Should the seniors start waiting outside public school cafeterias for their pb&j or cheese sandwich?

I'm on City Island
We been doing it ourselves and bringing it to the old peoples doorstep.
F_ck deBlasio and his government handing out truckloads of food to illegal aliens at schools.
That's right, illegal aliens are walking away with 4, 5, 6 big bags, shopping carts of food, masks as grandparent & disabled are left for dead. Many of these criminals claim 6+ kids then re-sell the free government taxpayer funded stuff.

If your a white or black American in this city you are doomed if you depend on the government. Go to a school and just claim your undocumented or homeless with 4 kids when they ask for ID, get some food and bring it to the elderly.
Sons of bitches are spending government relief on illegal baby makers that don't belong here.

Yes, Bless you for caring and helping others, many too honest or weak to save themselves.

Democrats DEMAND Illegal Immigrants Get Stimulus Cash, and CNN Covers for them !
100% Open Borders and If any illegals pay taxes it can be used for their airfare back home.

Citizens are dying and suffering, meanwhile the dems worry more about illegals and abortion.

Krazy Socialist AOC Gets Drunk in a fancy Hotel in D.C., Babbling about the Government while her district is under attack from a pandemic. While seniors are waiting outside public school cafeterias for hand outs she is mixing drinks. She’s just getting ready to go back to her bartending job this November !

@Anon re: Foods

It's only open to adults for 3 hours in the middle of the day. And it's not at every school, you might have to trek a mile or two to get there and wait on line (see if social distancing is being practiced).

I checked myself, you put your zip and the amount of miles and maybe 3 pop up. Not very convenient if you're elderly

Thanks JQ !

The government providing handouts in the form of food for the elderly? That's Socialism! Let the elderly pay for someone to bring them food with the money they've earned honestly in our Capitalist system! No bailouts!

Eff you DeBlasio, forcing your staff to accompany you to the 9th Street YMCA on March 16.... you try living off the city’s free pb&j sandwiches. you just don’t get it!!!!
