In New York City, New York Common Pantry will support the emergency food needs of families in New York City by providing food resources via Choice Pantry, Mobile Pantry and Hot Meals as well as case management and nutrition education. Just $1.05 provides one Choice Pantry meal to support those at risk.
In New York City, inflation and stagnant wages has significantly exacerbated systemic challenges for marginalised communities in accessing healthy, fresh, affordable food. These challenges include availability of food due to shop closures and supply chain issues, the quality of food with little fresh and healthy food available, as well as people lacking the financial resources to purchase fresh food due to loss of income.
This project will address these challenges and support families affected in New York City. NYCP's Live Healthy! team will provide food through their farm-share programme and provide education on healthy eating directly.
Wider community engagement and long-term change will be provided by Young Leaders from New York Common Pantry community partner, City in the Community. They will be trained to support food distribution, educating others about the benefits of healthy eating for individual and community health.
