The #COVID19 crisis is still hurting 100s of people in our community.

A year ago, we forged new partnerships in fighting for fair labor standards on NY farms which led to the #FarmworkersFairLaborPracticesAct. To better inform our legislation and understand how our farms & farmworkers were faring, we took a trip upstate. https://twitter.com/jessicaramos/status/1106667396226600960
We didn't always agree w/our farmer colleagues, but we built a foundation of mutual trust & respect & arrived at a better solution for farm workers. Today, these relationships are the backbone of our effort to fight hunger & food scarcity issues worsened by CV-19 in our district.
When we visited Maureen Torrey of Torrey Farms in Genessee County last year, I heard directly from farmers and farmworkers —I even planted onions!

Now, Torrey Farms is one of our biggest food donors. This week, we distributed 7680 lbs of those onions!
With the help of farms & agricultural orgs across NY, we've created a food donation pipeline that gives their surplus food directly to families in need at the epicenter of the CV-19 crisis. We're thankful for all our partners & will fight the hunger crisis as long as we can.
Before #COVID19, the black & white cows at Lamb Farms in Western New York made yogurt for schools. Today, thanks to @KLamb14125's generous donation, we'll be fighting to end hunger in NYC by sharing some of that yogurt to families with children in Queens. #SeenIn13
