Food Bank has been working to end food poverty in our five boroughs for over 36 years. As the city's largest hunger-relief organization, they employ a multifaceted approach centered on helping low-income New Yorkers overcome their circumstances and achieve greater independence.

Before COVID-19, an estimated 1.2 million New Yorkers were already struggling with food insecurity. The pandemic has magnified these inequities, and thousands more New Yorkers are facing hunger - many for the first time - amid this unprecedented circumstance. Since the crisis, Food Bank For New York City has seen an extreme rise in need for food and other resources, and our city's soup kitchens and food pantries are seeing a 50% increase in visitors.

As the city's largest hunger relief organization, Food Bank For New York City is on the ground and their trucks on the road ensuring that the most vulnerable New Yorkers are provided meals, especially during this crisis. People out of work, vulnerable seniors, and families with children are turning to soup kitchens and food pantries during this challenging time - many for the first time. Since the start of their emergency response, Food Bank has provided more than 15 million meals - and counting -across the five boroughs.
