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

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.
