There is a worldwide crisis. Coronavirus.
COVID-19. Call it what you
will. But while we are all scared and
practicing social distancing and taking care of ourselves as best we can, we
are faced with a choice: will we be kind
or selfish? Look at what we can do for
others (while being safe) or make like it’s not our problem?
Here in Crown Heights, some people are
really focused on what they can do for others.
One example is the restaurant, The Bergen which recently began
giving out free meals to children and their families in the local
community. Thanks to Ty Brown who
owns the restaurant, these individuals are getting food. And while his business is down, he is able to
give out this free food thanks to generous donations from local New Yorkers.
Initially the restaurant was delivery
free brown-bag lunches for school children but once schools closed they found
another way to help.
There is always a way to help. No matter
what the situation. It’s just a matter of choice.
