Even when temperatures drop below freezing, he braves the cold to complete deliveries in Lower Manhattan.
Now, a $1 million grant from the federal government could mean that Ajche and the 65,000 other app-based food delivery workers in New York City will have access to hubs where they can get warm, charge their bikes, and rest between deliveries, U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer and Mayor Eric Adams announced Monday. Schumer has recommended the funding be allocated in a spending package that’s pending approval in the Senate and is expected to pass in December.
