The NYPD's distribution of free Thanksgiving meals revealed the urgent need as food insecurity has spiked post-COVID, exemplifying community support during the holidays.
Assistant Chief Ruel Stephenson expressed, "This is what happens when the community comes together for folks in need, with local businesses and volunteers stepping up to help."
Stephenson shared his personal connection to the initiative, saying, "It means the world to me; I grew up very poor. This is what we're placed here to do."
