NEW YORK, NY A few weeks before Christmas, Leslie Jirsa posted a question on her Bed-Stuy neighborhood Facebook group did anybody know a family in need she could help this holiday?
Responses quickly flooded in, but instead of suggestions, neighbors asked if they too could chip in.
Around the same time, a borough away, a group of Queens neighbors were struggling with a similar adopt a family idea in what was once New York City s coronavirus epicenter. Their group, COVID Care Neighbor Network, had no shortage of families in need 1,000, to be exact but weren t sure if they d have the bandwidth to pull it off.
