PSS Resources for COVID-19

During these difficult times, PSS is committed to doing all that it can for as long as it can to support older adults and family caregivers. Below are some resources that might be helpful to you.

PSS Centers are no longer providing Grab & Go Meals but the New York City Department of Education is committed to making three free meals available daily for any New Yorker. Any New Yorker who wants one can get three free meals a day at more than 400 Meal Hubs across the city. Visit them online for more information and to find a location near you.
