Food Distribution Event Kicks off Partnership between Law Firm and Nonprofit Group
On May 9, twenty volunteers from Together We Can Community Resource Center Inc. (TWC) departed from the Queens Museum at Flushing Meadow Corona Park to distribute groceries to more than 200 families in the western Queens community of Corona who have been impacted by the coronavirus.
In an effort to assist these families, TWC recently announced that Oresky & Associates, pllc joined in its battle to fight hunger and assist the Corona community through this difficult time by filling its food banks with groceries for those who are in need. After learning that the Center did not have funding for the month of May, Jacob Oresky, Founder and Managing Attorney, Oresky & Associates, pllc, volunteered to stock the food bank with groceries for these families. As an attorney, Mr. Oresky has represented many members of the Corona community for the past 25 years.
TWC is a 501(c)(3), volunteer-led nonprofit that services the residents of Jackson Heights, Elmhurst and Corona with the mission to empower New York residents by linking them to community resources and providing educational opportunities. The group assists with SNAP enrollment, transportation assistance, job placements, resources and referrals, youth empowerment, parent support and more.
