Catholic leaders and volunteers distributed free meals to families in Harlem for Holy Thursday today. CBS2's Natalie Duddridge reports.
Roughly 250 boxes of food were handed out before noon. The whole endeavor required dozens of volunteers.
"It's hard for me because I'm alone and then the rent raised, the food's raised," said Lizza Oliver. "During the pandemic we lost our job. We worked for the Roosevelt Hotel and they just closed down," said Ralph Guadalupe."Now we're struggling. Look, we're in a food line to get food just so we can feed our families. Look at how long this line is." "Eggs and meat. I see the prices of the meat is going up a lot too," he said."I feel like I'm eating more soup now than anything.
"This is the Last Supper, with Jesus at a meal with his disciples, and also giving us that brilliant example of washing the feet of his 12 apostles, which is the act of a humble servant and slave. So we want to be humble servants to the great people of this community," said Dolan.

Pope leads Holy Thursday service in Vatican basilicaPope Francis has begun the first of two major Holy Thursday ceremonies. Francis is presiding at mid-morning Mass in St. Peter's Basilica. Later in the day, inmates at a juvenile prison on Rome's outskirts await the pontiff for a symbolic foot-washing ceremony that commemorates the final supper of Jesus before crucifixion. The juvenile facility is where Francis first celebrated Holy Thursday shortly after being elected pontiff in 2013. The pope's voice sounded strong during the basilica Mass as he read a long homily. Francis, who is 86, was discharged from a Rome hospital five days ago after being treated for bronchitis. Francis in his homily sought to shore up the dedication of priests to their flocks.
