(Gothamist) Muslim New Yorkers facing food insecurity during Ramadan will be able to pick up free iftar meals at designated locations starting today.
Muslim families in need can pick up the traditional halal meals at certain grab-and-go sites in all five boroughs, starting today and continuing through April 19, according to New York City Comptroller Brad Lander. About 7,500 free meals will be distributed during this time on a first-come, first-served basis.
“Ensuring Muslim New Yorkers have access to culturally appropriate food this Ramadan is crucial for addressing food insecurity,” Lander said.
