City Harvest’s annual Gala brings together celebrities, influencers, and NYC’s high-profile individuals to honor supporters who have played a significant role in helping us provide high-quality food to New Yorkers experiencing food insecurity. Designed by celebrity event planner Colin Cowie, the 2026 Gala: Shaken, Not Stirred serves as City Harvest’s most important fundraising event of the year and recognizes generous supporters of City Harvest and New York City.
