On Sunday, the volunteers of the mutual aid group EVLovesNYC marked a milestone — serving their 100,000th meal of 2025 with a celebratory cake.
Since launching during the pandemic spring of 2020, the group has created and distributed more than 680,000 meals to date.
Earlier this summer, EVLovesNYC relocated to the social hall and kitchen at Middle Collegiate Church on Seventh Street between First Avenue and Second Avenue, where they continue to prepare meals for distribution across the city.
