What Brooklyn nun Caroline Tweedy has done at St. John’s Bread & Life food pantry in four years is nothing short of a miracle.
Since she took over the Bedford-Stuyvesant organization in 2018, the pantry has tripled its service capacity to provide up to 250,000 meals a month to people in Brooklyn and Queens.
“We have never turned anyone away. Ever,” Sr. Tweedy told the Daily News. “As a Sister of Mercy, we are called to serve and be of service.”
