Food insecurity is rising across New York City and GrowNYC is stepping in to help ease the strain for our neighbors.
Our new Food for Families project delivers fresh, free food to New Yorkers in need while supporting the small farmers that are struggling to stay afloat amidst income loss and competition from large-scale agribusiness.
Keep reading to see this work in action and to learn about some of the farmers feeding our city! 
Feeding New York families together
Last week we partnered with the Center for Justice Innovation to deliver 2,300 lbs of food from GrowNYC’s Food Hub to the NYCHA Mitchel Houses in the Bronx.
Why it matters: Even with SNAP restored, new federal restrictions mean more than 200,000 New Yorkers could lose vital benefits in the new year. Our Food for Families project will ensure no New Yorker has to struggle to put healthy food on the table.
Help feed New York City families this holiday season
 We’re deeply grateful to NYC Council Members, the NYS Assembly, and supporters like you for making this work possible. Because of the collective generosity of thousands of New Yorkers, we can continue getting fresh, healthy food to community partners serving high-need neighborhoods across all five boroughs.
