🧡 Another successful food distribution!
Thank you to everyone who came out, volunteered, and helped make this event possible. Together, we were able to provide fresh food and essential resources to community members and families across the Hill District.
The Hill District has always been a community that shows up for one another, and this event was another example of that spirit in action.
A special shout out to our volunteers from BNY, the Democratic 5th Ward Committee, and our Community Leaders. We appreciate you!🍏✨
