Food Bank For New York City
Food Bank For New York City is the city’s largest hunger-relief organization working to fight food insecurity throughout the five boroughs since 1983. Nearly 1.6 million New Yorkers experience food insecurity, making daily difficult decisions between basic needs and providing nutritious meals for themselves and their families. Food Bank takes a strategic, multifaceted approach providing meals and building capacity in the communities of need while raising awareness and engagement. Its network of nearly 1,000 member agencies and partnerships includes soup kitchens, pantries, charities, schools, colleges, hospitals, and government and corporate points of service. Food Bank safely distributed over 121 million meals last year – more than ever in a single year. NYC families also benefited from free tax services provided by Food Bank – with an economic impact of nearly $47.5 million back in the local economy and in the pockets of NYC neighbors facing significant financial challenges. Food Bank’s nutrition education programs and services empower children, teens, adults, and seniors to sustain a healthy diet and active lifestyle on a limited budget.
