Congresswoman Grace Meng
spent Memorial Day distributing
face masks among
her constituents in Glendale and
Elmhurst.
Grace Meng, who is serving her
fourth term in the United States
House of Representatives representing
Queens, teamed up with
Community Board 5, the Kiwanis
Club and 104th Precinct Civilian
Observation Patrol (104COP/G-COP)
in Glendale to distribute 1,000 face
masks at the Glendale Veterans Triangle
at the intersection of Myrtle
and Cooper Avenues on Monday,
May 25.
She also delivered masks to nearby
St. Pancras Church in Glendale.
“As we continue our efforts to
combat COVID-19, it is vital that
local residents have the PPE they
need, and I was pleased to make
these critical supplies available
to constituents,” said Meng. “Having
a face mask is essential and I
encourage other houses of worship
in my district to contact my office if
they need access to masks.”
104COP/G-Cop attended to provide
security and crowd control
for the event.
Meng also teamed up with Community
Board 4 to distribute 1,000
face masks at the St. James Episcopal
Church located at 84-07 Broadway
in Elmhurst.
“Distributing needed PPE to
constituents today,” Meng wrote
in a tweet. “Pleased to make these
critical supplies available to
constituents.”
Since March, Meng has provided
PPE throughout Congressional
District 6 in Queens to help protect
constituents and members of the
public from the coronavirus.
She and her team have personally
delivered tens of thousands
of pieces of much needed supplies
to nursing homes, hospitals, first
responders and NYPD precincts, local
civic leaders, labor unions, nonprofit
organizations and houses of
worship.
