HELP US REACH ONE MILLION MEALS BEFORE DECEMBER 18
Every dollar you donate, up to $500,000, will be doubled this week and help provide 10 meals.
As you may or may not be aware, I have been collaborating with The Food Bank for New York City in order to facilitate their fundraising during the holiday season. Their annual Million Meals Match week begins today 12/12, and you can help New Yorkers who are struggling to put food on their table by making a donation. This week, your gift has DOUBLE IMPACT.
A generous supporter of Food Bank For New York City will match your gift, dollar for dollar (up to $500,000).
Your doubled generosity makes all the difference for more than 1.4 million New Yorkers who don’t have enough to eat this holiday season. Our life-changing work would not be possible without your support, so please give now.
Each year, an estimated 1.4 million New York City residents rely on emergency food programs, including soup kitchens and food pantries. Over three hundred thousand are children. Our neighbors need you.
