The COVID-19 crisis has made more apparent than ever that communities are struggling to receive the healthy, nourishing food they need to survive. 1.2 million people across NYC are food insecure and the gaps in our broken system are wider than ever.

Through our Lifeline Grocery initiative, we make weekly deliveries of groceries, completely free of charge, to 700+ families a week throughout Queens who have lost work due to the pandemic and do not qualify for government assistance. 

For $35, we can provide a week’s worth of fresh, nutrient-dense groceries to a family of four.  But we need help! As the world continues to make inroads in getting the pandemic under control with more people getting vaccinated, returning to work and moving towards a better “normal,” many communities and individuals continue to struggle. Food insecurity was a major issue pre-COVID and will continue to be unless we are intentional in making radical changes to resolve this crisis. 

As a 100% community funded organization, we do not get funding  from politicians or large corporations. We are purposefully building something that is rooted in community in every way, but to fund such a community effort requires ongoing financial support. Donations of any size are the lifeline to fueling this work and radical change for our community. And any donation you give us is fully tax-deductible to you!
