Taste of Tribeca Community Fund approaching $60k
The original goal was $15k; now organizers have purchased and delivered 1800 meals, and hope to double that in the next two weeks.
Buy meals at Zucker’s; feed the hungry
Donate to Zucker's and they will employ their staff to feed the homeless at the Bowery Mission and deliver to the covid units at city hospitals.
