Food Drives

Participate In A Food Drive Or Start Your Own.

All over the city, New Yorkers help feed their neighbors by organizing food drives with their schools, apartment buildings, businesses, and places of worship.

Help City Harvest feed New York City by keeping food pantries and soup kitchens stocked year-round. For more information on running a food drive, please see below, email [email protected], or call 646.277.7800.

Start An Online Fresh Food Drive

Did you know that more than half of the food City Harvest rescues and delivers is fresh fruits and vegetables? If you’re looking for an alternative to a traditional canned food drive, you can help donate fresh produce by running a #GiveHealthy food drive. The #GiveHealthy platform allows you to purchase food items directly for City Harvest. Learn how to run an online food drive.

    City Harvest’s annual Feed Our Kids Food Drive runs each year from Mother’s Day to Father’s Day and helps provide much needed food for New York City’s children and their families, especially during summer, when access to free schools meals may become limited. Last year’s drive raised more than 150,000 pounds of food.
