This is our ninth year supporting this important initiative. In past years, we would get there at 6 AM, construct boxed, pack them full of all the Thanksgiving supplies, turkey and all, and then follow one of the trucks around the city. We would drive from shelter to shelter delivering the packages, giving a hand to help as many families as possible have a nice meal to celebrate togetherness.

This year social distancing makes it very difficult. Still, it is even more critical than ever to actively support all members of our community.

Please consider joining us in donating to help as many families as we can.

Since 2001, FeedingNYC has dedicated efforts to providing families in need with the essential ingredients to host their own Thanksgiving dinner with family and friends. Our network of volunteers, donors, and sponsors unite to raise funds to buy, assemble, and deliver these boxes of meals throughout the five boroughs. 

We are dedicated to helping feed the NYC communities where we work in, enjoy, and call home. Each year we strive to provide Thanksgiving dinner to as many families who are living in shelters as possible. We’re not just delivering meals, we’re delivering hope to those who need it most. One small box, can make an incredible impact for a family in need this year.

With the outbreak of COVID-19, we feel our services are needed more than ever. Our city’s shelters have experienced a surge of record-breaking demand and desperately need the additional support to accommodate food shortages and lasting effects of this pandemic.
