Mannan Supermarkets has locations in Jackson Heights, Jamaica and Ozone Park where local residents can purchase halal food products. Through the initiative, Zara is underwriting the cost of twelve months of fresh groceries that Mannan will provide for families in Richmond Hill that are being served by the Gatton Foundation.
After a massive fire tore through various homes on Jamaica Avenue in Richmond Hill during 2020, Gaton-Wiltshire promptly started The Gaton Foundation and the Give & Go Delivery Project with her daughter, Kristen Wiltshire.
Members of The Gaton Foundation along with its volunteers from Richmond Hill High School and beyond execute these deliveries in the neighborhoods of Richmond Hill, Woodhaven, Whitestone, Jamaica, Ozone Park, Glendale, and communities in Brooklyn where students have been displaced.
”I feel very happy because I got my prom dress and my graduation dress. I was struggling thinking about having to go out and find dresses because everything is expensive nowadays,” she said, according to a press release. “But then I tried on this really nice blue dress which was off the shoulder and really flowy. I just thought it looked cute and it was approved by my peers, so I am set.”
