An East New York Woman Makes Sure Seniors Stay Connected and Fed

WNYC News | Apr 13, 2020

With the coronavirus outbreak forcing most people to stay put, many seniors have ended up alone. WNYC’s Yasmeen Khan spoke with Tawana Myers, a long-time resident of Linden Houses in East New York, who has taken it upon herself to check in on vulnerable neighbors and the seniors who socialized at a nearby community center where Myers volunteered, until it closed due to the coronavirus. Myers has even organized meal deliveries for them.
