Ukrainian families and refugees looking for refuge in New York
City attended a food pantry giveaway Monday where they got a lot
more than just food.
Mattresses,
pillows, bedframes and more were available at ICNA Relief
Food Pantry in Brighton Beach.
Ishaq
Alar, hunger prevention and refugee protection services lead at ICNA
Relief, emphasized the importance of helping refugees.
“Me
myself being a refugee from Afghanistan, I have come across these challenges
and how difficult it is when you come," said Alar.
ICNA Relief is
currently looking to do more of these drives in the future and says it's willing
to help any refugee or anyone who needs food.
