Meng Delivers PPE to Constituents

May 26, 2020
QUEENS, NY – U.S. Rep. Grace Meng (D-Queens) announced today that she distributed personal protective equipment (PPE) yesterday to constituents in Elmhurst and Glendale.
The Congresswoman teamed up with Community Board 4 to hand out 1000 face masks in front of Elmhurst's St. James Episcopal Church at 84-07 Broadway.
She also worked with Community Board 5, the 104th Precinct Civilian Observation Patrol (G-COP), and Glendale Kiwanis to provide 1000 masks to residents of Glendale, distributing them at the Glendale Veterans Triangle located at Myrtle Avenue and Cooper Avenue. In addition, she delivered masks to nearby St. Pancras Church in Glendale.
"As we continue our efforts to combat COVID-19, it is vital that local residents have the PPE they need, and I was pleased to make these critical supplies available to constituents," said Meng. "Having a face mask is essential and I encourage other houses of worship in my district to contact my office if they need access to masks."
Since March, Meng has provided PPE throughout her district in Queens to help protect constituents and members of the public from the coronavirus. She and her team have personally delivered tens of thousands of pieces of much needed supplies to nursing homes, hospitals, first responders and NYPD precincts, local civic leaders, labor unions, non-profit organizations and houses of worship.
