City harvest

So we all know that the holidays are coming and being with family and friends
Is what we all want to do, well some people don’t have the chance to be with family for
The holidays. I know I wish my mother was still here with me but she passed away before the holiday
So there is a place that makes sure everyone has some food to eat for the holidays and everyday there after.

It’s called City harvest they do a lot to make sure no one goes hungry they make deliveries to all of NYC food ankhs and pantry’s including 11 right in Staten Island.
I live in Staten Island and we’re considered the forgotten bough in NYC.
They will be delivering turkeys to food pantry’s this year again. So you can find more information on City Harvest website. They also look out for the kids so they don’t go hungry and that they remain in
School and get there education and not have to worry about not eating.

They have a program called the fruit bowl program it provides kids in pre school and head start programs  and after school access to fresh fruits and low fat dairy foods.

There care takers learn new skills and where the programs are to help them to keep
Nutritious foods on the table.

Kids look up to the parents so we as parents don’t like setting bad examples for
Our kids, so if we can have access to good and nutritious food then we
Did our job right.

You can find more information about the Fruit Bowl Program On the city harvest website.

They are always looking for donations and or volunteers to help out.
You can go to the website.

In Staten Island alone roughly about 48,380 residents are facing hunger and 19,940 are children.

Through programs like these and many more, City Harvest has provided meals for 420,000 food-insecure children across all five boroughs while exposing them to fruits and vegetables to pave the way for a healthier lifestyle.

They also have a mobile truck going around providing free fruits and vegetables to families in need.

You can go check out city harvest and see all the good there doing in New York City.

Everyone should have food to eat and not be worried when they will have food to eat.
