Community Board 14 has concluded its Holiday Food Drive, collecting almost 200 pounds of food from community residents to be distributed among food pantries within Flatbush and Midwood.

Food pantry shelves have been particularly bare in Community District 14 lately as the economy has worsened and more people are looking to make ends meet.

“When Community Board 14 heard about this on-going crisis affecting our local food pantries, we knew we had to act immediately to organize this relief effort,” said Alvin Berk, Chair of Community Board 14.

“We are really quite blessed to see the outpouring of support from Board members as well as the residents of Flatbush and Midwood to help their neighbors who are hurting a little more than everyone else these days,” said Doris Ortíz, District Manager.

Asked about whether the Board will work on this issue beyond the holiday season, Mr. Berk replied, “Our Human Services and Youth Services Committees are exploring the possibilities of a long-term effort as the high demand at food pantries continues.”
