News Flash

The smell of EzFresh Meals was amazing on December 20th , but the spirit of service was even better. Dedicated community members spent their Saturday making sure 300 residents in local high-rises and those who are homebound (shut-ins) would not go without a hot meal this holiday. 

This initiative went far beyond providing a meal though, it highlighted our City’s  compassionate spirit in action as we came together to bring Christmas cheer to our neighbors in need.
