The City of New York has donated some 100 million meals to food insecure residents, Mayor Bill DeBlasio said on Tuesday.
DeBlasio vowed that the food distribution would continue as long as it’s needed.
The free meals were provided to the Jewish community as well, with many Yeshivas and Mosdos holding distributions daily, some providing thousands of meals each day.
The city has also created a Landlord-Tenant Mediation Project to help keep residents that are unemployed due to COVID-19 in their homes.
“We are about to go over a cliff in this city” the mayor said of residents being unable to pay their rent.

Sorry for sounding pessimistic, but I believe that anyone else in the mayor’s position would have done this, too. We are not observing the benevolence or generosity of De Blasio. He deserves a minimum of credit for this, but just that. Meanwhile, he has proven to be one of the worst mayors in history of NYC, making his partisan politics and his corrupt liberal agenda more important than the welfare of his city’s population. I wish him a disgraceful fall from power, and I have trouble waiting more than a year for it.
The little I know,
Quite possibly another mayor would have distributed twice as many meals as this bumbling imbecile.
A caring mayor who looks after the poor and defenseless in their time of need. Kol hakavod Mr. Mayor!
