South Salem residents Tatiana Salerno and her son Luke put in a hard day’s work as they jointly carry a box stuffed with fresh produce and food across the Kohl’s Shopping Center parking lot on Wednesday, Sept. 23. Through a USDA grant and collaboration with The Garden of Eden Foundation, Sudano’s Produce and 4MYCITY, Precision Concierge of New York has been distributing food across New York. The Port Chester Police Department teamed up with the organization to bring 58,000 pounds of food to the Village for food pantries, churches and families to utilize.
