Feed Our Kids Food Drive

City Harvest’s annual Feed Our Kids Food Drive runs each year from Mother’s Day to Father’s Day (May 8–June 19, 2022) and helps provide much needed food for New York City’s children and their families, especially during summer, when access to free school meals may become limited.

With one in every four children in our city now experiencing food insecurity, the need is especially high. Join us and help ensure shelves at community food programs across the city are stocked for children and their families this summer. Last year, we were able to collect over 180,000 pounds of food.

This year, there are a number of ways you can get involved.
