Longwood food distribution adds help for voters

The outreach has paired pantry support with nonpartisan election materials in the Bronx since September.

Near Bill Rainey Park, residents collecting food also received guidance on checking registration, finding polling places and looking up early voting hours.

Food Bank For NYC used resources from NYC Votes, an initiative of the city’s Campaign Finance Board. Organizers are focusing on neighborhoods where food insecurity and low turnout overlap.
