R.A.I.N. adds new food delivery vehicle
Cucina Dolores Mobile Food Kitchen will help distribute 500 meals in the Bronx
BY JENNA BAGCAL
In a continuing effort to
combat food insecurity during
COVID-19, a Bronx-based
organization announced the
addition of a new mobile food
delivery vehicle.
On Nov. 9, R.A.I.N. (Regional
Aid for Interim Needs,
Inc.) deployed its newest
Cucina Dolores Mobile Food
Kitchen, which will help the
multi-social service agency
deliver meals to the most vulnerable
in the borough.
According to the agency,
the mobile food kitchen,
funded in part by The Bob &
Dolores Hope Foundation, will
aid in distributing 500 meals
to the elderly, adults and families
in the south and northeast
Bronx. Many of those receiving
deliveries are from
low-income backgrounds and
have coexisting conditions
that put them at risk during
the pandemic.
Established in 1964, R.A.I.N.
serves over 4,000 clients across
13 centers, 12 of which are located
in the Bronx. In addition
to the mobile food kitchen, the

agency provides a “Continuum
of Care” which includes
services for seniors, those
with disabilities and other
vulnerable populations.
