Help us provide all New Yorkers with a healthy meal this holiday season. Last year, we served nearly 15,000 families turkeys and holiday food packages. This year, we're aiming for more than 16,000 families.
Every year we gather as a community under the lights at Tavern on the Green in Central Park. It’s a wonderful opportunity to share food and camaraderie. And to thank all of our incredibly generous supporters who help us make choice the centerpiece of how we serve all New Yorkers.
Thanks to our collective advocacy efforts across the emergency feeding network, funding for the Community Food Connection Program (CFC) will no longer be cut in half under the budget deal reached by NYC Mayor Eric Adams and the city council a few weeks ago. The $112 billion budget for this fiscal year will maintain full funding of CFC at roughly $57 million for the program, that supports 500 emergency food providers across the city. This will ensure that the more than one million New Yorkers facing food insecurity can continue to feed themselves and their families.
