NEW YORK (WCBS 880) — Local artists have come together for a good cause.

It's called Art for Food Auction and is exactly what it sounds like.

This all started with Paul Gramigna, a 30-year-old glass blower from Queens.

As the coronavirus death toll mounted and the economic crisis deepened, Gramigna wanted to help.

"So I was like, 'Well, I make art,'" Gramigna said.
