Coronavirus NYC Neighborhood Food Resource Guides
March 19, 2020
COVID-19 significantly impacted the food system in New York City. To help connect community members in need with food resources during the pandemic, the Hunter College NYC Food Policy Center created Coronavirus NYC Neighborhood Food Resource Guides for each NYC neighborhood. The neighborhoods are divided by the 59 NYC Department of City Planning’s Community District Profiles. The neighborhood lines and zip codes used for these reports are based on the districts used in the 2018 Community Health Profiles, which contain over fifty measures and statistics of neighborhood health.
Each resource guide includes information related to food access within the community, such as the location and hours of food pantries, meals for students and seniors during this time, delivery services for people with disabilities, and resources for immigrants. The Center partnered with local organizations like Share Meals, Hunger Free America

Riders returned to the rails in record numbers this month – on March 12, 1.9 million paid trips were made. That s more than on any day in the past year.
But getting around this weekend is still going to be tough with many lines disrupted in the name of upgrading and maintaining our tracks, stations and signal systems in order to continue to provide our customers with safe and reliable service.
If it wasn’t for a pair of quick-thinking sanitation workers who heard the trashed tabby’s desperate cries at the last minute, the cute kitten would have certainly been demolished.
