Working at City Harvest

Now serving New York City for more than 25 years, City Harvest is the world's first and New York's only food rescue organization, dedicated to feeding the city's hungry men, women, and children. Using a fleet of 18 trucks and volunteers on foot, City Harvest collects excess food from all segments of the food industry and delivers it free of charge to community programs in all five boroughs.

At the same time, City Harvest is working to increase the access that low-income New Yorkers have to nutritious food by partnering with other non-profits, businesses, farmers, and target communities to establish improvements to local food systems that will benefit residents long into the future. City Harvest's programs provide individuals and families with nutrition information that they can use and supports community programs so that they can do their vital work serving meals to people in need. City Harvest's programs currently help feed more than 300,000 New Yorkers each week.
