Council Member Vallone Co-Sponsors Veterans Food Drive

In partnership with Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito, Council Member Eric Ulrich, Council Member Stephen Levin and Food Bank for New York City

According to recent reports, close to 30 percent of New York City’s veterans and their families rely on emergency food to get by. In honor of their selfless sacrifice, we need to ensure that local food pantries and soup kitchens are equipped to assist our brave men and women with hot meals this upcoming holiday season. Feel free to stop by our office any time with any canned goods or nonperishable items.
