\n They just can\u2019t get it right.<\/p>\n

Emergency city coronavirus meals meant for the needy have since May been showing up outside the home of a Brooklyn woman who never requested the free food \u2014 despite her weekly calls to 311 about the mixup.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s just crazy to me that there\u2019s no way to actually get in contact with them to make a correction,\u201d Windsor Terrace resident Elena Tavarez told The Post.<\/p>\n

The city\u2019s GetFoodNYC delivers meals to New Yorkers struggling from the COVID-19 pandemic as Mayor Bill de Blasio has said 2 million people don\u2019t have enough to eat this summer.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s horrible and we feel terrible because it keeps getting left outside and we\u2019re not aware of it so I can\u2019t even donate it because the food is rotten half the time,\u201d she said. A couple times she has managed to rescue the misdirected deliveries and post the free food on a local Facebook<\/a> page for redistribution.<\/p>\n

Tavarez says the deliveries \u2014 made by out-of-work taxi drivers \u2014 are totally random though she said three to four boxes a week typically get dumped in different places around the outside of their private home.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday there were about six meals left that were supposed to be frozen. The other day we got three boxes and each box had about nine meals in it so about 18 meals.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome are fresh fruit; the ones today were like a chicken parmesan and pasta bolognese and a salmon,\u201d she recounted.<\/p>\n

Tavarez said 311 dispatchers take her complaint but claim there\u2019s no way for her to contact the food program directly \u2014 and the messages don\u2019t app<\/a>ear to be getting through.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have called a minimum at least once a week if not more than that,\u201d Tavarez said.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s also left messages for the delivery people on her front door alerting them to the problem, but it continues.<\/p>\n

A spokesman for the GetFoodNYC said the mixup occurred after a program client listed an incorrect address for deliveries on two occasions. GetFoodNYC learned of the problem via Tavarez\u2019s 311 calls, but only one of the entires was corrected.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis was a unique case, the result of a technical error where an individual was in the system twice. We appreciate it being brought to our attention and have stopped deliveries to this address,\u201d the spokesman said.<\/p>\n

But earlier this week The Post exclusively reported that someone ditched 34 boxes of GetFoodNYC meals near a Queens highway overpass. A city Department of Sanitation worker eventually came to toss the spoiled food into his garbage truck\u2013 eight hours after a concerned passerby called 311 about the issue.<\/p>\n

In April another Post investigation revealed that seniors, including a Holocaust survivor keeping Kosher, were going hungry because of the programs many missteps.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
