- A free grocery store has opened outside an Upper East Side NYCHA development. The community around the complex contributed toThe stock piled high outside Holmes Towers at East 92nd Street and 1st Avenue Thursday, as a team of volunteers carried caseloads of food to fill the new pair of free fridges. A third of NYCHA residents struggles to feed their family.
Grassroots Grocery co-founder and CEO Dan Zauderer created a committed community volunteer force by tapping into nearby restaurants and religious organizations. Some donors provide more than others, like the truckload of fruit delivered by one of the country's largest markets, Hunt's Point in the Bronx.
"They just thought that it was maybe just neighborhood bodegas, but not from the outside," Holmes Towers resident association president Sandra Perez said about her surprised neighbors."These people are from far away."
