Holocaust Survivor Food Deliveries

Holocaust survivors have suffered enough. That’s why Met Council has launched a vital new service during this pandemic to take care of the most vulnerable. Met Council is the largest provider of services to low-income Holocaust survivors in the United States, helping over 5,000 survivors a year.

When we realized that Holocaust survivors will be stuck, home alone, without food, we reached out to Uber and created a first-of-its-kind pilot to deliver 500 Passover food packages directly to the door of Holocaust survivors. Our efforts made national news on CBS and you can read about it more in the New York Post and AM New York.

We’ve expanded this effort now to over 1,000 survivors but need your help to reach more survivors. One of our Met Council volunteers recently delivered food to a Holocaust Survivor who was in tears, telling the volunteer through a closed door to please stick around a bit. The survivor said that she is her 90’s and this is the most horrible thing to happen to her since the Holocaust. She continued, “I’m living in a tiny apartment, with no one to talk to. You are the first person I’ve spoken to in weeks”.     

Seniors who don’t even have access to technology are completely stuck because they can’t go out to buy the food and they have no one delivering the food to them and that’s why it is a vital and critical service that we are offering.

We are their lifeline, which is why we made it a priority to get this food to them.  With your support we can reach even more survivors like Lena, 90 years old, and living in Queens. Read about her here and contribute to help here.
