This will be the first Thanksgiving for many migrant families who have arrived in New York since last May and need to stand in long lines despite the cold weather to receive food donations.
With a precarious economy, many will be able to put dinner on the table thanks to the work of the food banks, which, despite having fewer resources this year, continue to donate basic necessities to families.
“The reality is that we still have families who still don’t know where their daily bread will come from, so we are here to make sure that 5,000, more than 5,000 of those families have that helping, that turkey, that chicken ” , comments the deputy of the Queens, Catalina Cruz.
According to the Federation of Agriculture, the cost of Thanksgiving dinner has increased by 20% this year, which is why charities have been forced to reduce their donations. Ángela González, Voice of America, New York.
