City Harvest is New York's first and largest food rescue organization, helping to feed millions of New Yorkers who struggle to put meals on their tables.

During our 40 years serving New Yorkers in need, we have rescued more than one billion pounds of fresh, nutritious food and delivered it free of charge to hundreds of food pantries, soup kitchens, community partners, and our own Mobile Markets across the five boroughs.

This year, we will rescue and distribute more than 77 million pounds of nutritious food to our neighbors in need.

City Harvest works alongside our community partners to boost community capacity, expand nutrition education, and strengthen local food systems.
