Paper recycler Pratt Industries donated cardboard boxes made from paper and cardboard collected through DSNY's recycling program to support GrowNYC’s emergency food distribution program.
On April 1, 2020, United Sherpa Association received 300 emergency food boxes to distribute in Jackson Heights/Elmhurst, a community that has been hit hard by COVID-19.
GrowNYC began similar distribution efforts with four additional organizations in the weeks that followed.
