Daily News Food Drive

Help us feed thousands of hungry New Yorkers this holiday season by participating in the Daily News Readers Care to Feed the Hungry Food Drive!

The Daily News Readers Care to Feed the Hungry Food Drive is
City Harvest's largest food drive of the year, and the largest food drive in New York City. Last year's drive raised over one million pounds of food from New Yorkers all over the five boroughs of New York City, and we need your help to raise even more food this year! This year's drive begins on November 14th and ends on January 6th. The food raised in our Daily News Readers Care Food Drive is extremely important for the more than 1 million New Yorkers who don't know where their next meal is coming from. Get involved today and help us ensure that New York's families, seniors and children have enough food this holiday season.
