Mission: City Harvest exists to end hunger in communities throughout New York City. We do this through food rescue and distribution, education, and other practical, innovative solutions.
About: Founded in 1982 as the world's first food rescue organization, City Harvest is dedicated to helping feed the nearly 1.4 million New Yorkers facing hunger. City Harvest will collect 55 million pounds of excess food from thousands of donors and deliver it, free of charge, to 500 community food programs across the city this year. In addition to helping meet the immediate need for food, City Harvest takes a long-term approach to fighting hunger by partnering with residents, local organizations and businesses through Healthy Neighborhoods programs which increase the availability of affordable fruits and vegetables and provide the nutrition education and resources to maintain a wholesome, food-secure diet.
Partner Since: 2016
Founders (year established): Harley Brooke-Hitching and Peter Schmidt (1983)
