Many people have faced additional struggles amid the pandemic.
Some workers say they fully understand.
"I know what it's like to have that insecurity. The children eat, but I'm not eating. My rent had to get paid, tuition has to get paid. So I'm familiar," one worker said.
More than 2 million New Yorkers currently face food insecurity.
