Meals For Good works with local farms and food pantries to alleviate food insecurity in New York City.
Fall/WINTER 2020 UPDATE
Before COVID-19, Meals For Good partnered with restaurants that generously donated $0.25-$1.00 from one item on their menu for at least six months. Every time someone ordered that item, the money would be donated to local food pantries to buy fruits and vegetables from family farms. Local restaurants were helping their local communities with local produce.
Since COVID-19 arrived in early 2020, food insecurity has also doubled since the previous year, but the restaurant industry has also suffered immensely. Restaurants have been there for the community, now the community needs to be there for them. We are advocating for people to order out and eat out safely, whenever possible and we hope to partner with them again, when they are stronger and more secure.
Last year 1.2 million people in NYC were food insecure. Since COVID-19 that number has doubled. Like so many other groups, Meals For Good has pivoted. We still deliver healthy food to New Yorkers in need, but we are supported by individual donors. Read more about our recent work.
