HARLEM, NY — Al Sharpton’s Harlem-based advocacy organization, the National Action Network, is partnering with humanitarian groups to distribute thousands of meals to healthcare workers and people in need, the group announced this week.
The National Action Network is teaming up with international organization CARE to launch the humanitarian group’s first-ever domestic relief project. The partnership will result in 175,000 “CARE packages” — consisting of nutritious meals — being delivered to residents of Harlem and the Bronx. CARE has been distributing its “CARE packages” since 1945, when the organization was founded to feed survivors of World War II.
