Feed Our Kids Food Drive
Sunday, May 10–Sunday, June 21, 2026
City Harvest’s annual Feed Our Kids Food Drive runs each year from Mother’s Day to Father’s Day (May 10–June 21) 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.
In New York City, one in four children does not always know where their next meal will come from. You can help City Harvest ensure that shelves at food pantries and community food programs across the city are stocked for children and their families this summer. Last year, we collected more than 170,000 pounds of food.
There are a number of ways you can get involved:
