Fig Tree will partner with Repair the World and Muslims Against Hunger to prepare and package healthy food for people experiencing food/housing insecurity and homelessness, as part of the Muslims Against Hunger “Hunger Van” initiative.

After the food is packaged, we'll discuss hunger and food insecurity in NYC, as well as Dr. King's legacy.
