City Harvest
Over the past 40 years, City Harvest has been the reliable food resource so many New Yorkers needed, particularly in times of crisis, and we’re incredibly proud to continue our support of the impactful work they do every day to help support New York City families in need.
Right now, 1 in 5 New York City children doesn’t always know where their next meal will come from. With grocery prices and other expenses rising at near-record rates, this year is poised to be one of the hardest yet when it comes to childhood hunger as a staggering 1.5 million New Yorkers are now experiencing food insecurity.
City Harvest works tirelessly and expects to rescue and deliver, free of charge, 77 million pounds of food this fiscal year alone.
That’s why we’re once again supporting the Share Lunch Fight Hunger campaign with a goal of raising $200,000 to aid their incredible work. This year’s fundraising will be a hybrid model of both in-person events and online giving opportunities. If you are able, we hope you will consider contributing to this important cause. No donation amount is too small—even a $20 contribution helps feed 46 children for a day.
Once again, this year’s campaign includes a special employee sweepstakes. Employees making a donation of $50 or more to City Harvest’s Share Lunch Fight Hunger campaign at http://www.cityharvest.org/citi from April 1 through May 17, 2024, will be automatically entered for a chance to win some great prizes.* Winners will be selected in a random drawing on or about June 16.
We have a total of 79 prizes, including several exciting Mets items. You have the chance to win:
- Pete Alonso bobblehead ($50-$74 donation)
- Pete Alonso autographed baseball ($75-$99 donation)
- One (1) seat at a Virtual Cheese Tasting & Charcuterie Board Class ($100-$199 donation)
- Four (4) outdoor patio seats in the Citi Pavilion at Citi Field for the 6/29/24 NY Mets home game at 4:10pm vs. Houston, including a $30 food and beverage or merchandise credit per ticket ($200-$249 donation)
- And, donors of $250 or more have the chance to win four (4) amazing seats right behind home plate at Citi Field for a NY Mets game
