 ations: \n	\n	\n		Queens Together is a non-profit association of independe
 nt restaurants supporting each other in business and feeding communities d
 uring crises. Their motto is “One Borough. One Voice.” During the COVID-19
  crisis they are building a bridge that connects local restaurants with fo
 od relief efforts in their communities. The dollars raised allow restauran
 ts to make real money\, pay their workers\, fuel the local economy and mos
 t importantly do what restaurants do best: care for others with food. That
 's because the meals and groceries they fund\, prepared by these local che
 fs\, go to neighbors facing food and economic insecurity. The work benefit
 s the full circle of the community: from food businesses to those in need 
 to those who donate. This mission will continue beyond COVID-19 and become
  a tool for future needs and projects. \n	\n	\n		Zone 126 is a community-b
 ased organization focused on Western Queens and is at the forefront of a c
 ollaborative strategy that supports young people attending local under-res
 ourced schools to ensure that they have the resources needed to succeed in
  life. They are committed to providing students and their families with th
 e critical nutritional support that they need in order to close the food i
 nsecurity gap that exists all across our country. \n	\n
