Nonprofit Overview
Target demographics: Reducing hunger and promoting dignity, health and self-sufficiency
Direct beneficiaries per year: Provide over 11 million meals, ensured 1,693 households received benefits, 3,220 guests utilized our hygiene services, 33 people received approval for supportive housing vouchers and 16 people moved into permanent housing with our aid.
Geographic areas served: New York City
Programs: Our whole-person approach starts with food provision through the distribution of nutritious, fresh food pantry packages in Choice Pantry and hearty balanced lunch in the Hot Meals program. Supplemental food provided to seniors aged 60 and older through Nourish. We then go further to address the reasons for food insecurity with case management services through the help of Help 365, which assists Pantry visitors in gaining access to resources, and Project Dignity, which connects homeless visitors to resources. The third vital element in our whole-person approach is education offered through our Live Healthy! program. Live Healthy! teaches children and adults about the importance of a nutritionally sound diet and active living, as well as provides them with the skills necessary to make healthier choices for their families.
