City Harvest Presents The 2025 Gala: Carnaval
City Harvest’s Annual Gala brings together celebrities, influencers, and NYC’s high-profile individuals to recognize supporters who have played a significant role in helping us provide nutritious free food to our neighbors experiencing food insecurity. The Gala serves as City Harvest’s most important fundraising event of the year and honors generous supporters of City Harvest and New York City.
