This summer, 11 corporate groups volunteered, alongside other City Harvest volunteers, at our Food Rescue Center through our inaugural Summer Service Days program. A total of 395 volunteers repacked corn, sweet potatoes, apples, and pears, into 28,096 family sized bags to be more easily distributed to New Yorkers facing food insecurity.

In the United States, nearly 40% of food is wasted. Food is the single biggest material placed in municipal landfills, which emit greenhouse gases—a major contributor to climate change. This year, City Harvest will rescue and deliver more than 81 million pounds of perfectly good, nutritious food that would have otherwise gone to waste, preventing the equivalent of 24.4 million kilograms of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere. It would take 1.1 million trees to absorb that same amount of carbon in a year! Learn more about food rescue: https://lnkd.in/dY8NQjui #WeAreCityHarvest

Earlier this week, nearly 150 City Harvest volunteers rescued 78,315 pounds of the world's highest-quality foods, including wheels of cheese, jars of artisanal jam, olives, and so much more, at the close of Specialty Food Association's Summer Fancy Food Show at the Javits Center. Our trucks then delivered to Salt & Sea Mission, Teen Challenge, Children of the Light Ministry, and Open Door Family Life Center in Brooklyn; Evangel Christian Center in Queens; and Vision Urbana Pantry in Manhattan. Thank you to all of the partners, volunteers, and food donors who help make it possible for City Harvest to rescue all of this incredible food and deliver it to our neighbors in need! #WeAreCityHarvest
