Citywide students recently completed Crop Management. They explored the best crops for NYCโ€™s climate, reviewed plant families and their specific needs, and imagined personalized creative crop plans.

In the fast-paced world of logistics and transportation, the demand for efficient and reliable truck and trailer services is ever-growing. As the backbone of the Food Bank, we rely heavily on well-maintained vehicles to keep food moving across our 23 counties. As our fleet grew, it became evident we needed to step up and take control of our fleet in a new way. In October of 2022 we successfully brought on our own mechanic shop using a building already on the property.

We are so sorry to everyone who was disrupted
We had intentionally made the Zoom calls open to ensure that anyone could access them easily, but unfortunately the link was posted on a website that encourages people to hack into Zoom meetings
We will have to restructure the Zoom set up in the future

In the meantime โ€“ the agenda is here: https://tinyurl.com/mr43adks and the minutes from last time: https://tinyurl.com/4jparfcx .
We will reach out soon with a rescheduled meeting.

Thank you all for your understanding and patience

Join the Labor Religion Coalition of New York State on Monday for a #HealthcareJustice Film Screening

09/08/2023

Youโ€™re invited to a screening of the new film, ๐™ƒ๐™š๐™–๐™ก๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™œ ๐™๐™Ž, about the struggle for universal healthcare in the United States. The screening will be followed by a panel discussion, including the creators of the film, experts in the field, and organizers in the movement for universal healthcare.

During the panel, weโ€™ll be discussing how weโ€™re organizing to make healthcare a human right. This year, more than 68,000 Americans will die from a lack of access to adequate healthcare.

500,000 families will file for bankruptcy because of medical expenses. These numbers only represent a fraction of the trauma that millions of people experience every day in the American for-profit healthcare [โ€ฆ]
