About Our Work Newsroom Take Action DONATE Share Your Story Five Boro Story Project, Richmond Hill, Queens We are lifting up community leaders who are finding their voice. What Grantee Partners are Saying “Information about major loans are not being trickled down to small mom-and-pop business owners. One way we’ve been mostly disseminating information to immigrant and family-run businesses in Chinatown is through “We Chat Circles.” I think most people get the information that our group helps to translate, through the “we chat circles” run by our volunteers.” Yin Kong Director/Co-Founder at Think Chinatown (Manhattan) “We knew before COVID who the people suffering the most from food insecurity and limited access were, mostly low-income neighborhoods, mostly people of color and mostly people with predisposing diseases such as Type II Diabetes, Hypertension and Obesity. At the end of the day, we have to make sure that our communities are fed, and with nutritious produce.” Karen Washington Political Activist and Community Organizer (Bronx) “I’m continually inspired and motivated by the courage of people from diverse backgrounds coming together around the issues of justice, and our ability to take immediate action. Even simple, small actions like just raising awareness among family members, friends and neighbors can help play a critical part in the larger discussions we’re having as a society.” River Fields Co-President, 400 Bainbridge Block Association (Brooklyn) We are constantly in awe of the strength of our groups across New York City to come together and support neighbors in this time of crisis.
