In a Nutshell

Donations help provide food and produce for New York’s hungry men, women, and children to celebrate Thanksgiving

The Fine Print

The Issue: Families Living with Food Insecurity

As Thanksgiving approaches, families across the United States will be crowding around their tables to enjoy the comforts of a warm meal with loved ones. According to a report from Feeding America, nearly 1 million New Yorkers will rely on emergency food this year, including more than 1 in 5 children who live in families who don't always know where their next meal is coming from. Hurricane Sandy has forced many more to rely on emergency food while they rebuild their lives, and the impact of Winter Storm Athena will only increase the already-critical demand.

The Campaign: Distributing Thanksgiving Meals

For every $10 raised by this Grassroots campaign, City Harvest can help provide a healthy meal for 40 hungry New York residents this Thanksgiving. Knowing they will have a meal available can help make the holidays a less stressful time for families who are food insecure. This year, City Harvest aims to collect more than 42 million pounds of produce and food from restaurants, grocers, farms, and manufacturers, which would otherwise go to waste.

City Harvest

For more than 30 years, City Harvest has strived to end hunger in New York City’s communities through food rescue and distribution, education, and food drives. This year, City Harvest will collect 42 million pounds of excess edibles from all segments of the food industry, including restaurants, grocers, corporate cafeterias, manufacturers, and farms. In its efforts to feed the more than 1 million New Yorkers who face hunger each year, the organization delivers approximately 100,000 pounds of food daily, delivering it to approximately 600 community food programs the same day using a fleet of bikes and trucks.

The Groupon Guide to: Lunchboxes

Carrying lunch in a box is as handy now as it ever was. Here are some of the most popular designs adorning kids' lunchboxes this season:

  • Image of the toilet-paper bear visiting the laundry-detergent bear in the hospital

  • Sticker reading "My other lunchbox is a wet paper sack that broke open when I was running for the bus."

  • Photo of mom spreading jelly on one slice of bread and dad spreading peanut butter on the other (pre trial separation)

  • Hand-drawn Pikachu or a Furby or a Tamagotchi or maybe that’s a Spongepant?

  • Graphic stating "I voted (for a sandwich, an apple, chips, and a pudding)!"

  • Just an indentation in the shape of a fist

If you get really mad, is it OK to punch your lunch?
