Councilmember David G. Greenfield (D-Borough Park-Midwood-Bensonhurst) said he has raised more than $75,000 worth of donations as part of a joint effort he is undertaking with the Masbia Soup Kitchen Network and Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr.

“I’m extremely humbled by this outpouring of support for hurricane victims. It’s clear that my neighbors in Borough Park and Midwood care deeply when their fellow Americans are suffering, and they’ll do whatever they can to help,” Greenfield said in a statement.
