QUEENS (WABC) -- New York City is holding a resource fair for asylum seekers in Queens on Saturday.

Organizers will be distributing free clothing, food and hygiene kits, in addition to providing services.

The fair will happen rain or shine and there will be shelter from the weather. For those who can't make it in person, the event will stream on Facebook.
