The giveaways are part of the Corner Store Campaign, a longstanding initiative organized by the Inner-City Muslim Action Network (IMAN), and in the midst of a global pandemic, organizers say neighborhoods need access to fresh food more than ever before.

So we should want to have less loitering and have more healthy alternatives in our corner stores.”
