Daily News Food Drive
Tuesday, October 22, 2024–Friday, January 17, 2025
For more than 40 years, City Harvest and The New York Daily News have partnered to host the city’s largest food drive, which is taking place from Tuesday, October 22, 2024 through Friday, January 17, 2025.
By participating in this year’s Daily News Food Drive, you can help the millions of New Yorkers struggling to put meals on their tables.
Last year, the drive raised more than 640,000 pounds of food which we delivered, free of charge, to hundreds of food pantries and other community food programs across the five boroughs.
