Describe the challenge you want to address:
the synagogues and senior centers do not have a way to know where there are the food pantries in Staten Island. Days and hours of operation.
Describe your idea and approach to address the challenge:
Create an online service that is updated monthly about free food distributions, emergency food pantry, holiday meals, and produce distributions. Have a person send info to all senior center and senior housing and houses of worship.
