More than 450 families received meals at Tai Shaw’s fourth annual winter food distribution.
The distribution was organized by Shaw, who founded his nonprofit CNY Blessing Box. Eight local sponsors, churches and merchants helped to feed families before the holidays.
More than 100 volunteers helped work the event.
The winter event grew out of Shaw’s weekly pantry. During the pandemic, Shaw gave away food from his CNY Uniform store.
