Yuki's Birthday Fundraiser for The Queensboro
Food insecurity has affected several people nearest and dearest to me at different stages of life. For my birthday this year I'd like to help those hardest hit in my hard-hit neighborhood by piggybacking onto The Queensboro's fundraiser. I admire how they kept supply chains open with their vendors to feed hospital workers, seniors, and others in need when the pandemic hit, and are again focusing their efforts on providing groceries and prepared meals to those experiencing food insecurity.
Queens Together is a non-profit association of independent restaurants supporting each other in business and feeding communities during crises. Their motto is “One Borough. One Voice.”
During the COVID-19 crisis they are building a bridge that connects local restaurants with food relief efforts in their communities. The dollars raised allow restaurants to make real money, pay their workers, fuel the local economy and most importantly do what restaurants do best: care for others with food. That's because the meals and groceries they fund, prepared by these local chefs, go to neighbors facing food and economic insecurity. The work benefits the full circle of the community: from food businesses to those in need to those who donate. This mission will continue beyond COVID-19 and become a tool for future needs and projects.
