Mayor de Blasio took a trip to the Bronx Saturday to tout a city food delivery program that brings meals to hungry New Yorkers stuck in their homes during the coronavirus crisis.
“We will not let any New Yorker go hungry. Period,” de Blasio declared at the Kingsbridge Armory, which has been transformed into a food distribution center to process up to 30,000 meals a day.
The city has hired out-of-work cabbies, Uber and Lyft drivers, and black-car operators at $15 an hour to ferry the edibles to the needy — including homebound and disabled people.
“I feel good doing this,” driver Miguel Garcia told The Post. “We are helping them, they are helping us.”
De Blasio urged “everyone who needs food” to call 311 to get in on the program.
“If you need food, we are going to get it to you,” he promised.
