New York City’s revamped COVID-19 Food Delivery program now allows New Yorkers to schedule a month of free kosher grocery deliveries, Met Council announced this week. With a single 311 call or by visiting NYC.gov/getFood, New York City residents who need kosher groceries can get it delivered to their home for free due to the threat of COVID-19. It remains a daily challenge for many vulnerable New Yorkers, and by streamlining the meals delivery process, the city will help households get the groceries they need so residents can stay as safe as possible.

This year, Bnos Malka offered an incredible program, Names Not Numbers©, as an elective for the eighth grade.

Mayor de Blasio and Sanitation Commissioner Kathryn Garcia this past Monday announced the end of twice-weekly street cleanings, the most dramatic reform to Alternate Side Parking (ASP) in decades.
