Met Council

America’s Largest Jewish Charity Dedicated to Fighting Poverty. #ChangingLives

[David G. Greenfield @NYCGreenfield]

Only one leader in this USA is treating a changing workforce like the emergency it is.

@GovKathyHochul built her AI FutureWorks commission to solve this exact problem.

Proud to be serving on Hochul’s AI commission and focusing on the future of work + the social safety net.

[David G. Greenfield @NYCGreenfield]

Medical debt is bankrupting Americans.

1/3 of @gofundme is for medical bills.

Governor Hochul said NO to medical debt.

Thanks to Hochul:

NO medical debt on your credit report.
NO wage garnishment.
NO liens on your home.
NO hospital lawsuits against working families.👏👏👏

Little know fact: @NYCCouncil hosts their own Sukkah at City Hall! Thanks to @SpeakerMenin + @EricDinowitzNYC + @Lynn4NYC for welcoming all to their Sukkah.

Congrats to my friends @BPShomrim and @HindyPoupko for being recognized for their work by @LincolnRestler + @FarahNLouis

I was proud to join @MetCouncil @NYCGreenfield and Public Health Solutions to celebrate an incredible milestone: 750,000 Medicaid members screened for health-related social needs through WholeYouNYC — half of all screenings conducted across New York State.

[David G. Greenfield @NYCGreenfield]

This year we opened the Brooklyn Hub with @UJAfedNY. 14,000+ people walked in & left with help & dignity.

Thx @GovKathyHochul for helping NY families this High Holiday season at our largest @MetCouncil distribution ever:

2M+ pounds
162 sites
1,100 families in BP alone

🚨1.5 MILLION New Yorkers screened through NY Social Care Networks.

Half by ONE org: PHS.

Celebrated with 50 CBO partners @MetCouncil Manhattan food distribution center.

Proud to be key partner of PHS.

Thank you @SenatorSutton @ebottcher @jessicaramosqns + @KathyHochul. 🙏

[David G. Greenfield @NYCGreenfield]

Cost of everything is up.

After announcing energy rebates, @GovKathyHochul helped us hand out food to 1,000 Brooklyn families, part of our 2 million pound YomTov food distribution @MetCouncil.

Fruits + veggies paid for by her Nourish NY program. Thank you, Governor!

[Council Member Linda Lee @CMLindaLee]

With the holidays quickly approaching, it was a pleasure to attend @MetCouncil's High Holiday Food Distribution at Tomchei Shabbos of Queens. I am grateful for the work of these organizations that continue to combat food insecurity across our communities!

[Office of New York City Comptroller Mark Levine @NYCComptroller]

As Rosh Hashanah approaches, Jewish organizations across New York are embracing the spirit of Tikkun Olam, by helping ensure that food-insecure New Yorkers of all faiths have access to nutritious meals. We are grateful to the numerous groups and volunteers who make it their mission to help others not just during the High Holidays, but year round.

[Sam Berger @SamBergerNY]

With the holidays right around the corner, Tomchei Shabbos of Queens is once again making sure no family in our community goes without a festive meal. Year after year, Shimi Pelman, @MetCouncil, and their many volunteers step up to make this possible. Heartfelt thanks to everyone who continues to give back to our community.

[Shekar Krishnan @voteshekar]

As we enter into the Jewish High Holiday season, I was thankful to join @SpeakerMenin, @MetCouncil, and my colleagues in distributing prepared food for New Yorkers.

As the cost of living becomes unaffordable, we must fight to make sure no family goes hungry.

[Assemblymember Grace Lee 李榮恩 @AMGraceLee]

Proud to join my friends at UJCES to support their @MetCouncil high holiday food distribution. As the need continues to grow I’m grateful to the Met Council and UJCES for ensuring that our Jewish community members can celebrate the high holidays with dignity and joy.

[Jewish Treats @JewishTweets]

A sweet New Year begins with making sure every family has food on the table.

Ahead of Rosh Hashana, @MetCouncil distributed a record-breaking 2+ million pounds of kosher food to thousands of families across New York.

A powerful example of the Jewish community taking care of its own. 🍎🍯

As Rosh Hashanah approaches, I visited Tomchei Shabbos, where volunteers were hard at work preparing boxes of food for families in need. Food is central to the celebration, and thanks to their dedication they will be able to celebrate this important holiday with dignity and joy.

[Sandra Ung 黄敏仪 @CMSandraUng]

Thank you to everyone at Tomchei Shabbos and @MetCouncil for your year-round commitment to supporting families and ensuring no one in our community goes hungry.

[Leroy Comrie @LeroyComrie]

Earlier today, I joined Tomchei Shabbos and @MetCouncil as volunteers prepared food and holiday essentials for families ahead of Rosh Hashanah.

Thank you to their teams, volunteers and community partners for helping families celebrate the High Holidays with dignity and joy!

[Grace Meng @RepGraceMeng]

I joined local leaders at the Tomchei Shabbos High Holiday Food Distribution. Every family should be able to put food on the table during the holidays. I’m proud of the work Met Council is doing throughout our community to make sure no household is hungry at this time of year.

[David G. Greenfield @NYCGreenfield]

2 decades at the intersection of government and fighting poverty. This is the best government program I’ve seen improving health outcomes, and it’s live in NY thanks to Governor Hochul.

[David G. Greenfield @NYCGreenfield]

We’re giving away over 2 million pounds of food to help families in need celebrate Rosh Hashanah this coming week.

Thanks Gov. Hochul for volunteering at our big Williamsburg event. It’s one of over 160 food distributions this month @MetCouncil
