Flushing, NY—Assemblywoman Nily Rozic (D–Fresh Meadows) collaborated with Selfhelp Community Services to kick off the season of giving with her annual holiday meal giveaway. Together, they distributed 500 locally sourced meals to seniors in Flushing, including many clients of the Selfhelp Rosenthal Senior Center.

“The holidays are a time to come together and support one another,” said Assemblywoman Nily Rozic. “I’m grateful to our partners and volunteers who helped us bring warm meals and a sense of connection to so many seniors in our community.”

The event was a heartfelt reminder of the power of community, delivering comfort, connection, and a little holiday cheer to those who need it most.

“We are proud to partner with Assemblywoman Rozic each year to ensure our older adults feel seen, supported, and cared for during the holiday season,” said Stuart C. Kaplan, CEO of Selfhelp Community Services. “These meals are more than food—they’re a message that our community, and our Assemblywoman, values and remembers its older adults.”

The holiday meal giveaway is a longstanding annual event hosted by Rozic’s office, with this year’s generous sponsorship from Grubhub and the NYS Latino Restaurant Bar & Lounge Association.
