BRONX TIMES REPORTER, A 12 UGUST 9-15, 2019 BTR
BY ALEX MITCHELL
The Bronx Times Reporter
was honored to join the entire
Schneps Media Family while
doing a great amount of good
for the borough on Friday, August
2.
We proudly teamed up with
City Meals in Hunts Point to
package over 3,000 meals for
hungry New Yorkers who don’t
have access to a basic human
needs.
While boxing these nutritious
meals, I along with many
on our human assembly lines
began to refl ect on the signifi -
cance of giving back.
We tend to discuss where
we’re going to eat our next
meal, not when.
Just imagine that, being
in a situation where you don’t
know where your next source
of food will come from.
Imagine in a city of over
8 million people not having
someone to call on when you’re
in need.
Now to me, that solitude
and desperation is more than
harrowing and its something
I can’t imagine myself fi nding
the resiliency to overcome.
It’s up to us to change that
culture, it’s up to us to bring
light into the darkness that
many don’t even know creeps
over so many of our neighbors.
Do something good today;
help someone for no reason
other than that it is in fact the
right and proper thing to do.
There’s plenty of soup kitchens
and charities in the fi ve
boroughs that need a helping
hand.
Take some time to think
about it, think about what simple
things you can do daily to
help someone that can’t help
themselves.
Thank you Schneps Media
for giving us this wake up call.
Reminder that we have an obligation
to be the best citizens we
possibly can.
Remember, if you can save
one life then you’ve saved a
million.
