For over 40 years, Food Bank For New York City has been on a mission to empower every New Yorker to achieve food security for good. Our work with more than 800 soup kitchens, food pantries, and campus partners across the five boroughs gets our neighbors the food, resources, and nutrition education they need for today while our economic empowerment programs get people the tools they need to improve their financial stability. Community by community, we work together to build a more hopeful, dignified, and equitable future for all. Learn more and join our mission at foodbanknyc.org.

This #InternationalWomensDay, let’s get real. Women do it all—working, raising kids, running households. But did you know they also face higher poverty rates, lower wages, and greater food insecurity than men? 📊 In NYC, over 825,000 women live below the poverty line. 📉 Women-led households earn 30% less than male-led ones. 🍽️ And 31.6% of female-led households rely on SNAP to get by. That’s why Food Bank For NYC is stepping up—to provide food, baby formula, hygiene products, and more to the women and families who need it most. But we can’t do it alone. 🧡 Stand with us. Donate, advocate, and help make food security a reality for all women. 🔗 Take action today: https://bit.ly/3QNQ9xa
At this year’s Food Bank For NYC Partner Summit, we didn’t just talk about food insecurity—we tackled the issues head-on with some of the most dedicated partners, advocates, and community leaders in the city. ✅ We broke down the numbers—over 1.2 million New Yorkers are struggling to afford food, and women, families, and seniors are being hit the hardest. ✅ We held powerful discussions on how brands can step up—not just as donors, but as true partners in the fight for food security. ✅ We heard from powerful voices like Chef Fidel Caballero & Adam Richman on how food brings people together and why community-driven solutions matter. ✅ We got to work, packing over 300 hygiene kits filled with essentials like menstrual products and toothbrushes—because dignity is just as important as a meal. This event wasn’t just about learning—it was about turning knowledge into action and partnerships into solutions. Because food security takes all of us. 🧡 Want to be part of the change? Donate, advocate, and help us build a food-secure NYC. 🔗 Join the mission: https://bit.ly/4imGiKE
