The shelves at a Bronx food pantry have been bare for the past two weeks as hungry New Yorkers face heightened food insecurity at the beginning of the New Year.
The Albanian American Open Hand Association (AAOHA), located in Pelham Parkway, fed around 800 weekly before the pandemic, but that has since doubled to 1,600.
For the first time in 10 years, the pantry has been forced to turn people away.
For weeks now, hungry New Yorkers have lined up outside AAOHA on Thursdays and Fridays – when food is distributed.

Illegals
Isn’t hopium so wonderful?
Yep.

The food pantry thing got a big boost during Covid, but they expanded beyond what they could support without the special funding.
The demand curve for “free” is infinite
Sure. The illegals found out about something FREE and helped themselves to it. Never mind American citizens who are hungry. Illegals come first in El Retardo’s America.
Exactly.
Getting what they voted for, good and hard.
Yep
My thought exactly. Such organizations should ask for proof of citizenship and give food first to those who are US citizens.
It is always amusing when luxury vehicles are in the line for “starving people”.
We have the richest poor people in the world. We also have the fattest starving people in the world.
Food panties used to BEG you to take food because they had so much coming in the following week, they couldn’t store it all.
Hope.
Change.
Fundamentally-transforming America.
And 1/2 of America’s population are too stupid to figure it out.
Nobody is really hungry or experiencing famine in America. However, there will be no end to people taking free stuff.
Self created “food deserts” I believe is the term.
They gave all the food to the CRIMINAL, ILLEGAL ALIEN INVADERS.
Sometimes I take my Mom to the food bank - besides picking up a few items, she likes hanging out with the church ladies.
Anyway, I often see luxury vehicles in line and they almost always say they’re here for two families, instead of just taking the one goodie basket.
I know folks want to give to charity and help the needy—but unfortunately there are a lot of folks out there who will scam they system any chance they get.
That is why I prefer charities that deliver the food to individual homes—makes it personal and minimizes the chance for fraud.
