American Express
City Harvest has been proud to count American Express as a partner and valued supporter since 1986. During that time, American Express has provided critical support for a variety of initiatives here at City Harvest, most importantly through their dedicated commitment to The American Express Honor Roll truck. Since its inception in 1994, the American Express Honor Roll truck has inspired extraordinary support from the restaurant community and helped us deliver millions of pounds of food to hungry New Yorkers.
Barclays
This year, Barclays has generously increased their support to
co-sponsor City Harvest’s largest fundraising event of the year, An Evening of Practical Magic, making it possible for 100% of the ticket price to directly support our efforts to feed hungry New Yorkers. The event is expected to raise more than $1.1 million to fight hunger in large part due to their generosity.
BlackRock
BlackRock is a major contributor to the success of our work. With the continued sponsorship of our Holiday Card initiative and the countless man hours through our volunteer program, BlackRock is committed to helping feed New York. BlackRock is one of the world’s preeminent asset management firms and a premier provider of global investment management, risk management and advisory services to institutional, intermediary and individual investors around the world.
Citibank
Citibank chose City Harvest to be part of their Give Back NYC campaign in the fall of 2009, raising over ten thousand pounds of food and raising money from their customer to help purchase turkeys for holiday meals. During the campaign Citi employees volunteered to help us repack over 65,000 pounds of apples to be distributed across the city. As a partner in the Give Back NYC campaign, Citi made a generous contribution to our work in the communities where they do business. Citi has joined our 2010 Skip Lunch Fight Hunger campaign as a sponsor.
Credit Suisse
Credit Suisse has been a valued partner and supporter of City Harvest since 2002. In addition to the thousands of hours their employees donate every year, Credit Suisse sponsors our Corporate and Community Initiative, enabling City Harvest to leverage support from companies across the city. Last year, during a time of great need, Credit Suisse graciously underwrote the cost of dinner at An Evening of Practical Magic and, in a single night, helped City Harvest raise more than $1 million to fight hunger.
