Thank you. Not absolutely sure if it is this post or FB, or both, but we are getting some responses.
We really appreciate it. There are so many demands and needs, some, just keeping one's self on course during these difficult and often lonely times. Hang in there.

Can someone share contact info for local food banks? Not sure if it's been shared before.

One of them is Lion's Share Food Pantry. http://www.jacksonheightslife.com/community/index.php?topic=20258.0

I know of a few others and will post again later.

Thank you, Shelby2. Lion's Share is the one I know. Other JHBG are more involved with this project. I'm getting the word out.

Here are a few others:

Marguerite's Food Pantry
from their Instagram: "Just a small food pantry trying to make a difference in our community/ Our Lady of Fatima Parish/ East Elmhurst Queens Established in 1996"
couldn't find a website but they have an Amazon wish list for toys Marguerite's Food Pantry Amazon Toy Drive
and Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/margueritespantry/

I believe The Rock Church - Elmhurst has a food pantry

Love Wins Food Pantry

I'm sure there are others.
