Virtual Food Drives 2017

GCT 2017 Holiday Food Drive

Help fight hunger in New York City by donating to the GCT 2017 4th Quarter Virtual Food Drive! Nearly 1.3 million New Yorkers are facing hunger. That's 1 out of every 5 people in our city. You can make a difference by supporting City Harvest.

 City Harvest works right here in New York City, rescuing good food that would otherwise go to waste – this year it will be 59 million pounds of food – and delivering it free of charge to soup kitchens, food pantries and other community food programs across the city. Every $1 donated helps City Harvest rescue and deliver 4 pounds of good food. By donating, you’ll help keep City Harvest’s trucks on the road and filled with nutritious food for our neighbors in need. 

 • $10 helps feed 40 people

 • $20 helps feed 11 people for a week

 • $50 helps feed 6 people for an entire month

In our GCT 2017 3rd Quarter drive with your help we were able to raise $2,133, enough to directly enable City Harvest to rescue and deliver over 8,000 pounds of food to hungry New Yorkers.  

 

Over the past year our country has seen several natural disasters happen which left many people without basic necessities.  As we go into the holiday season let us take the time to reflect on how fortunate we may be and to think of those that are less fortunate than ourselves. 

During our last drive we raised over $2,000 and we believe that with your help and generosity we can double that amount so we are setting our goal for this drive at $4,000.   Once again the GCT Event Committee is looking to jump start this effort by pledging to donate at least $500.  We look forward to you joining us once again in combating hunger in New York.
