Founded in 1981, City Harvest is the world’s oldest and New York City’s only food rescue organization, dedicated to feeding New York City's hungry men, women and children. This year, City Harvest will collect over 19 million pounds of excess, nutritious food from all segments of the food industry, including restaurants, grocers, corporate cafeterias, manufacturers and farms. This food is then delivered free of charge to more than 800 community programs throughout New York City using their fleet of 18 trucks and volunteers on foot. Each week, City Harvest helps over 260,000 hungry New Yorkers find their next meal. 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.
