Info

El Coqui Liberation Community Garden is a South Bronx community garden that hosts a mutual-aid food pantry through Mission Helping Hand's Garden Project. Volunteers distribute free groceries, including fresh produce harvested from the garden's raised beds and shelf-stable staples such as rice, cereal, fruits, canned goods, and grab-and-go lunches, along with personal hygiene kits. The site also serves as a Trinity Church Wall Street Compassion Meals partner location for twice-monthly grocery distributions. Activities blend food access with community gardening, cultural events, and volunteer days, supporting residents of one of the nation's poorest congressional districts.
