Mark Sanchez helped feed hundreds in the Sandy-devastated Far Rockaway on Tuesday.

The Jets QB teamed up with City Harvest and helped serve hot food from Dinosaur BBQ and distribute pantry bags to about 300 people at PS 215.

“The most important thing is to make sure people have a hot meal in times like this around Thanksgiving and the holidays, especially after the tragedy of Sandy. So we’re just doing our best to give back,” Sanchez told
The Post.

Sanchez and his teammates have been helping with relief efforts since the storm hit. “I wore my Jets gear and wanted to let these people know that we think about them while we’re playing and it just give us great perspective on what else is going on outside of football,” he told NY1.

City Harvest has been supporting Hurricane Sandy victims by providing emergency food drop-offs to the hardest-hit areas in the five boroughs.
