Assemblyman Colton (D – Gravesend, Bensonhurst, Bath Beach, and Dyker Heights) together with Assembly Member Steven Cymbrowitz and Betty James, president of the Marlboro Residents Association has distributed food, masks, and hand sanitizer to the Marlboro Housing residents.

“I would like to thank Fresh Direct who donated approximately 500 boxes of different kinds of food to the Marlboro Housing residents at such difficult times that we are all facing. New York City has suffered enormously during the COVID-19 pandemic. We need always help each other regardless of the challenges we are facing. Most of all we must remain human no matter how difficult times are. I believe that it is our obligation, especially during this pandemic period, to make sure that no one goes hungry,” Colton said.

“It is critical that we participate in the community events such as this, so that we can make a difference in the lives of the families in the community,” Colton added.
