I deliver between 20,000 and 30,000 pounds of food every day. I’m so happy that I’m here at City Harvest during this time because I feel like I’m making a difference.
I worry that I won’t be able to feed my family if I'm not able to return to work soon. I also worry about what'll happen if I go back to work and my children can't return to school.
I worked at a parking garage in Manhattan, and my hours have been significantly reduced. I come to every St. Mary's Mobile Market and am very grateful for the food that I get.
Our pantry has gone from serving 300 people at our peak to helping 1,660 on a Saturday and delivering to almost 200 homes a week. We can serve this many only because City Harvest has stepped up to help us.
I see so many people, and I think, ‘Does this agency have enough food for all these people?’ I talking about lines, and lines, and lines of people—blocks and blocks.
I didn't re-certify my food stamps in time, and I'm afraid that I won’t have anything to eat. I worry that the pantries might run out of food. I'm not able to afford to buy food in the supermarket.
I teach film and was laid off by my employer. I’m picking up from the Mobile Market to not run out of food. Coming here is an easy opportunity to get food. I am grateful.
My husband is a construction worker and is currently not working. We have three growing children and they need a lot of food. This is my first time at the City Harvest Mobile Market, and I feel very grateful.
When I first started working for City Harvest, this was a job for me. After I got to see how much good City Harvest does, it became a mission. I love feeding people.
I am a housekeeper and I'm currently not working. This is the first time that I've had to get food from somewhere. Being able to visit the Mobile Market provides me with relief.
