THANK YOU FROM CITY HARVEST

 

To all the Students, Staff and Teachers at P.S. 373R:

Thank you for your food donation of 1,000 pounds in December 2007, which City Harvest distributed, free of charge, to community programs throughout New York City.

Now serving New York city for 25 years, City Harvest is the world’s first food rescue organization, dedicated to feeding the city’s hungry men, women and children. This yeark, City Harvest will collect 20 million pounds of excess food from all segmants of the food industry, including restaurants, grocers, corporated cafeterias, manufacturers and farms. This food is then delivered free of charge to more than 600 community food programs throughout New York City using a fleet of 16 trucks and volunteers on foot. Each week, City Harvest helps over 260,000 hungry New Yorkers find their next meal.

Thank you from all of us here at City Harvest, the agencies we serve, and the hungry New Yorkers that benefit from your generous contributions. We look forward to working with you in the future as we continue to fight hunger in New York.

Sincerely, Jilly Stephens, Executive Director at City Harvest
