Hunger doesn't check your religion. Neither do we. Today we @MetCouncil opened the largest kosher food bank in America: $25 million, built from the ground up, run on AI, already serving 300,000+ New Yorkers of every background. ⤵️

Fortune 100 companies get best in class. People struggling with poverty deserve it too. Tomorrow we prove it: America's largest kosher food organization opens its new @MetCouncil AI-powered warehouse. 5 years. $25 Million. Built to serve hundreds of thousands in need.

Only one leader in this USA is treating a changing workforce like the emergency it is. @GovKathyHochul built her AI FutureWorks commission to solve this exact problem. Proud to be serving on Hochul’s AI commission and focusing on the future of work + the social safety net.
One more possible sign that AI is already impacting employment in NYC: For the first time in decades, NYers ages 22–27 with a college degree have a higher unemployment rate than those without one. How long do we wait before we start treating this as real?

Medical debt is bankrupting Americans. 1/3 of @gofundme is for medical bills. Governor Hochul said NO to medical debt. Thanks to Hochul: NO medical debt on your credit report. NO wage garnishment. NO liens on your home. NO hospital lawsuits against working families.👏👏👏

Cost of everything is up. After announcing energy rebates, @GovKathyHochul helped us hand out food to 1,000 Brooklyn families, part of our 2 million pound YomTov food distribution @MetCouncil. Fruits + veggies paid for by her Nourish NY program. Thank you, Governor!

With the holidays quickly approaching, it was a pleasure to attend @MetCouncil's High Holiday Food Distribution at Tomchei Shabbos of Queens. I am grateful for the work of these organizations that continue to combat food insecurity across our communities!

As Rosh Hashanah approaches, Jewish organizations across New York are embracing the spirit of Tikkun Olam, by helping ensure that food-insecure New Yorkers of all faiths have access to nutritious meals. We are grateful to the numerous groups and volunteers who make it their mission to help others not just during the High Holidays, but year round.

With the holidays right around the corner, Tomchei Shabbos of Queens is once again making sure no family in our community goes without a festive meal. Year after year, Shimi Pelman, @MetCouncil, and their many volunteers step up to make this possible. Heartfelt thanks to everyone who continues to give back to our community.

As we enter into the Jewish High Holiday season, I was thankful to join @SpeakerMenin, @MetCouncil, and my colleagues in distributing prepared food for New Yorkers. As the cost of living becomes unaffordable, we must fight to make sure no family goes hungry.

A sweet New Year begins with making sure every family has food on the table. Ahead of Rosh Hashana, @MetCouncil distributed a record-breaking 2+ million pounds of kosher food to thousands of families across New York. A powerful example of the Jewish community taking care of its own. 🍎🍯 jewishpress.com/met-council-…

As Rosh Hashanah approaches, I visited Tomchei Shabbos, where volunteers were hard at work preparing boxes of food for families in need. Food is central to the celebration, and thanks to their dedication they will be able to celebrate this important holiday with dignity and joy.
