#REHasYourBack

As Covid-19 continues to grip New York City, the simple act of getting a meal has become a struggle for many families. In an effort to mitigate the impact of the virus on NYC communities, Urban Standard Capital has launched the #REHasYourBack initiative to deliver prepared meals to NYCHA residents in Queens, Brooklyn and Northern Manhattan. In addition to providing meals to those in need, #REHasYourBack is purchasing the meals from local small businesses to support the small business community and their employees. Simply, we want to keep as many people employed as possible. 

With the help of local community leaders, who have voiced the need for more support, USC is coordinating an effort to expand this program and raise enough money from the Real Estate community to deliver 500 meals per day for the next three weeks. Urban Standard Capital will match every dollar donated up to $20,000 to ensure that our goals are met.

The first delivery of meals to the Queensbridge, Ravenswood, Astoria and Woodside Houses in Queens started on Monday, April 13th.  On Tuesday,  April 14th, meal delivery  commenced in Lindsay Park, the largest Mitchell Lama property in Brooklyn and the Sumner Houses in Bedford Stuyvesant.  On April 27th, we expand our initiative to Harlem to include 5, NYCHA locations receiving 250 meals per day.  

100% of funds raised will be used by Urban Standard Capital to purchase meals, and then distribute them directly to those communities in need. 

Help our community support those who need it most.

With gratitude,

Seth Weissman
