In a Nutshell

Donations help City Harvest provide food to those in need during summer months as part of its Feed the Kids Food Drive

The Fine Print

The Issue: Reduced Food Assistance for Kids During Summer

More than 1.5 million New Yorkers currently live in poverty, and 25 percent of New York City children live in food-insecure homes, according to data from the NYC Center for Economic Opportunity from 2008 to 2010. Although many children who live in food-insecure homes have access to meal programs at school during most of the year, during the summer months, many of these children deal with hunger.

The Campaign: Ensure Food Pantries are Well-Stocked

With each $5 donation to this Grassroots campaign, City Harvest can provide food for 20 people as part of its Feed the Kids Food Drive, which helps ensure that food pantries and soup kitchens can meet increased food needs during the summer. Each additional $5 donation will help fund food for 20 more people in need. This year's Feed the Kids Food Drive, which runs from Mother's Day to Father's Day, will provide approximately 160,000 pounds of kid-friendly food to those in need.

You can follow the progress of this and other Grassroots campaigns at the Groupon Grassroots website.

City Harvest

City Harvest strives to end hunger in New York City’s communities through food rescue and distribution, education, and food drives. The organization delivers approximately 100,000 pounds of food daily, collecting excess food from restaurants, grocers, and farms and delivering it to approximately 600 community food programs the same day using a fleet of bikes and trucks.
