Bronx Food Pantry asks for help after running out of food first time in 10 years

Food-Pantry-runs-out For weeks now, hungry New Yorkers have lined up outside AAOHA on Thursdays and Fridays – when food is distributed – and food pantry president, Alexander Nilaj, has had to turn them away, he told The Post Tuesday.

Revelation 13:16-18 “Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name. This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666.”

Important Takeaways:

  • Bronx food pantry empty for first time in 10 years, forcing them to turn families away
  • The shelves at a Bronx food pantry have been bare for the past two weeks as hungry New Yorkers face heightened food insecurity at the beginning of the New Year.
  • The Albanian American Open Hand Association (AAOHA), located in Pelham Parkway, fed around 800 weekly before the pandemic, but that has since doubled to 1,600.
  • For the first time in 10 years, the pantry has been forced to turn people away.
