Masbia, the kosher soup kitchen and food pantry, has partnered with food delivery service DoorDash to provide kosher meals and groceries to families facing food insecurity in Brooklyn and Queens.

The partnership is part of Project Dash, DoorDash’s social impact initiative, in which the San Francisco-based company partners with local food banks, food pantries and other non-profits to deliver food and groceries to people in need.
“Every week, the [Masbia] network handles over 7,500 food pantry appointments and close to 2,000 soup kitchen dinners,” Alexander Rapaport, the executive director of Masbia, told The New York Jewish Week.
Still, he was aware that many more families than that are struggling, given the sharp rise in food prices and the potential winding down of food assistance programs as pandemic policies are lifted. Many of these families, due to COVID-19 or the lack of transportation, are unable to make it to the storefronts to get food, so Rapaport wanted to find a way to bring groceries to them.
These Masbia folks know full well how to use the system.
Interesting how you can see on New Utrecht Ave corner 54th street long long lines of people waiting for food NOT one Yid standing in line.
With their huge ”Kidhish Hashem” that they do they are also bringing into Boro Park all kind of shady unfriendly people. Fathers and mothers are afraid to send their kids through that area.
Masbia,
Please please go to a different area to this huge “Mitzvah”
Does this mean that the 7500 Chinese family’s that Masbia provides food for will no longer have to come from 8th Avenue till New Utrecht with their shopping carts from 6:00 am till 9:00 pm.
Does this mean that the 7500 Chinese family’s Masbia feeds will no longer have to come from 8th Ave. with their shopping carts.
SCAM!!!!!!
I have always been reluctant to give them $
Fake picture, never ever is there Yidden on line, never ever do Yidden get anything from them. They cater to other elements only.
95% of the people they serve are non Jews in the flatbush location many of them are shady characters.
just to clarify here, the picture is not a fake, its a real picture, two years ago until pesach or maybe till shevous the lines were indeed yiden getting food daily, but that ended after max of 2-3 months. since then its all chinese.
They give out expired packaging food!!!
They do have private appointments for big families weekly
If Masbia really really cares about the the community they should take a hard look at all the comments on VIN each time anything is posted about them.
Hardly ever will anyone comment in a positive way.
Masbia, of all the good generous organizations within the Frum community is probably the most unlikeable because in truth they care nothing about the community.
If they do care they would move away from our community and go feed the hungry in the Bronx etc etc.
I know they have special hours for single moms and big families.
