With food banks and soup kitchens across the city running low on supplies, the United Federation of Teachers has launched a project to supply community food banks with 5,000 meals a week for the next month. The UFT will buy meals from local restaurants, which will then cook, pack and deliver the meals to in-need local food pantries. On Friday, Dec. 18, food pantries at PS 55 and PS 83 — both in the Bronx, the latter a UCS school — each received 250 cooked meals for their school communities from Caridad Restaurant and Ravioli Fair Restaurant, respectively, to kick off the project.
