The North Brooklyn Angels, co-founded by Rev. John Merz and Neil Sheehan, has become a crucial mutual aid organization in North Brooklyn, celebrating its eighth anniversary. Delivering an average of 2,000 meals weekly, the organization peaked at 3,000 meals daily during the pandemic. Merz emphasizes practical moral engagement through simple acts of kindness, urging community members to help those in need. Volunteers like Jimmy Cajoles highlight the importance of this mission in navigating the complexities of moral living within a capitalist framework, demonstrating the powerful impact of direct support.
As co-founder Neil Sheehan notes, "the food is not the business, the business is neighbors helping neighbors."
