Compassionate New Yorkers Feed the Hungry on ‘Orange Friday’

|Updated:

NEW YORK—Black Friday is usually known for discount shopping, but some members of the community in Manhattan took part in “Orange Friday” on Nov. 23, to serve hot meals for those in need and raise awareness for hunger.

The Food Bank calls the day after Thanksgiving “Orange Friday.” Camesha Grant, vice president of Food Bank For New York City, said it is the hardest day for those in need to get food, because most soup kitchens and pantries are closed.
