About

Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, New York City struggled with a hunger crisis. According to City Harvest, the pre-COVID figures show that 2.5 million working-age New Yorkers were struggling to make ends meet. Nearly 1.2 million New Yorkers were experiencing food insecurity (defined by the U.S. Department of Agriculture as a “lack of constant access to enough food for an active, healthy life”). During the current pandemic, the situation is even more dire: Over 1.5 million New Yorkers are struggling to feed themselves and their families (38% increase from pre-COVID statistics). One in four children are experiencing food insecurity (49% increase from pre-COVID statistics).

Right now, it is even more important to support local food banks. Our team recognized that finding information about food banks (including their hours of operation, location, and requested items) can be difficult. So, we made this tool so people can easily search for food banks that match their criteria, making it easier for people to support food banks.
