Or, at the very least, be neighborly. Photo: Cindy Ord/Getty Images On March 15, along with 1.1 million other students, Maeve Foley learned that public schools in New York City would be closed. The 17-year-old high-school senior, the youngest of four, realized that she would likely complete her final year of high school from the comfort of her parents’ Carroll Gardens apartment — and she still had weeks to go until virtual learning began. She was ridiculously bored.
Her response: posting flyers around the neighborhood offering to pick up groceries and prescriptions for anyone over the age of 65. “I figured going to the store could be a scary situation for older people who may be immunocompromised. I can’t make a large-scale difference in terms of fighting the virus, but this seemed like something small I could do.” In all five boroughs, people like Foley are stepping up to help neighbors in need.
Ramsey recently connected with Grace Linderholm, a fellow Brooklynite looking to organize a grocery-delivery effort in the neighborhood. After putting together a safety protocol with the help of Linderholm’s mother, a physician, and Geoff Shively, who had experience in logistics, they launched their collective: Brooklyn COVID-19 Mutual Aid. Within a few days, the group had attracted three dozen volunteers. Now, there are 82 of them.
That’s what I exactly said to my friend today! After 9.11 we did lots of work without pay, New Yorkers took care of mess together.💪
