The Chazaq Organization and Met Council spent the afternoon of Tuesday, March 16 distributing hundreds of groceries ahead of the Pesach holiday. The event held at the recently inaugurated Lev Aharon Community Food Pantry attracted a vast array of community leaders and elected officials. Representing Met Council were Benjamin Zaientz and Aron Cyperstein. Other notable attendees included Queens Borough President Donovan Richards, Mayoral candidate Andrew Yang, Council Member James Gennaro, Council Member Barry Grodenchik, Assembly Member Daniel Rosenthal, District Leader Shimi Pelman, City Council Candidate Avi Cyperstein, Simon Sebag the Jewish liaison for Public Advocate Jumaane Williams, among others. Rabbi Yaniv Meirov, Chazaq’s CEO was on hand as well. “At Chazaq we are proud to be a constant resource for the community. Our food pantry distribution has enabled many of those in need to sustain less burdens this Pesach season.” A food pantry is always run by a dedicated staff and requires the help of volunteers. Aviv Simantov recently undertook the managerial efforts at the community site. “As manager of the Chazaq food pantry, I have the utmost privilege to give back to the community that made me the man I am today,” said Simantov. “I am forever grateful to Rabbi Yaniv Meirov, his dedicated wife Leora, and Met Council for this amazing opportunity. Bezrat HaShem we will continue this wonderful chesed and grow to reach even greater heights.”
