Read the story below by Reuvain Borchardt, published in The Hamodia, about a desperate voicemail of a manager building asking for help after Hurricane Ida took away all tenants' belongings. Alexander Rapaport, Executive Director of Masbia, felt very touched and brought relief to the needy.

Chefs from the Masbia Relief Team cooked up a pop-up hot dinner for victims of Hurricane Ida at their building complex on Grand Central Parkway in Forest Hills, Queens, on Sept. 9, 2021. The kosher pantry also distributed 20,000 pounds of shelf-stable grocery food at the complex, where one person died, four low-lying apartments and dozens of cars were destroyed, and 420 families were stranded with no hot water and no elevator.
