Serving Up Assistance

New York City has become home to over 17 thousand asylum seekers over the past six months. Now shelters are struggling to provide food for them.

The team at Mexican chain restaurant, Tacombi, have always had a mission to fight food insecurity in Hispanic and Latinx communities. WFUV’s Maya Sargent talks to their philanthropic arm, the Tacombi Foundation, about their current work assisting asylum seekers, and interviews one of their partners, New Immigrant Community Empowerment (NICE) in Queens.
