At times like this, New Yorkers come together. "Operation Building Buddy" is a model you can use to identify helpers and neighbors in need on your block and “match” them up to check in on our most vulnerable population during the COVID-19 pandemic. We believe a grassroots response, building by building and block by block, is the only way to make sure all of our neighbors are safe and healthy during this time.
