Caring for NYC’s Asylum Seekers 🌎✨ As New York City shelters tens of thousands of asylum seekers, local organizations are stepping up to provide culturally appropriate, nutritious, and safe meals despite strained resources. ❤️ The Campaign Against Hunger distributes food to 14,000 families weekly, including halal meals to meet diverse dietary needs. evlovesnyc serves culturally specific meals near shelter processing centers, with half their meals halal to support the asylum seeker community.
