A Heartfelt Commitment: Airport Community Members Making a Difference

Each year, just before Thanksgiving, Crescent Consulting and its partners organize a food drive to provide prepared meals for local community members in need. Calling upon a network of local restaurants to prepare individual meals, the event is able to feed several hundred people each year. Metropolitan Airport News is proud to participate in this event alongside other members of the airport community by providing funding, raising awareness, and offering a helping hand throughout the day.

Behind the scenes, Yvette Greene and the team at the JFK Redevelopment Center handle all the heavy lifting, working for months prior to the event to coordinate with local restaurants, sponsors, and elected officials to assist as many residents as possible. This year, the event successfully helped more than 750 people in the surrounding area.
