City Harvest
Now serving New York City for more than 25 years, City Harvest is the world’s first food rescue organization, dedicated to feeding the city’s hungry men, women, and children. This year, City Harvest will collect 20 million pounds of excess 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 600 community food programs throughout New York City using a fleet of 16 trucks and volunteers on foot. Each week, City Harvest helps over 260,000 hungry New Yorkers find their next meal.


Food Bank For New York City
The Food Bank procures and distributes food to a network of approximately 1,000 food assistance programs citywide. In addition, we provide food safety and capacity-building workshops; manage school nutrition education programs, after-school and emergency food programs; conduct food stamp prescreening and outreach; operate a Senior Food Program and a soup kitchen and food pantry; coordinate the largest Free Tax Assistance Program in the country; and develop policy and conduct research to inform community and government efforts to end food poverty throughout New York City.

 

Just Food
Just Food works to make fresh, nutritious, locally-grown food a viable choice for all New Yorkers.  They implement collaborative projects that support the region's farmers, increase the production of food in urban gardens, and build the capacity of community-based partners throughout NYC.  By connecting growers and eaters, they promote healthy farms, healthy communities and a healthy environment.

New York City Coalition Against Hunger
The New York City Coalition Against Hunger  (NYCCAH) represents the more than 1,200 nonprofit soup kitchens and food  pantries in New York City  and the more than one million low-income New Yorkers who are forced to  use them. The Coalition works to meet the immediate food needs of  low-income New Yorkers and to enact innovative solutions to help them  move "beyond the soup kitchen" to self-sufficiency.

 

Nutrition Consortium of NYS
Nutrition Consortium of New York State, Inc., exists to alleviate hunger for poor and near poor residents of New York State, by expanding the availability of, access to, and use of governmental nutrition assistance programs through: outreach, education, program development and implementation, policy work, coalition building, data analysis and research.
