Hunger

In a city where an average 1.3 million New Yorkers are food insecure, Hope for New York, P.S. Kitchen, The Salvation Army, and City Relief have come together to show the strength and power of our network by addressing hunger.

We brought our Spring Benefit for Young Professionals back this year! Our night at The Bowery Hotel, an iconic New York space, was a beautiful evening of connections and community. Here are three important moments!

In the fall, we brought back Network Talks to educate and equip our network of supporters on critical needs in New York City. Our spring event focused on Understanding Food Insecurity in Our City, and we asked various speakers to join us in sharing their knowledge.

This year, Don't Walk By focused on one Saturday outreach and served lower Manhattan between 46th Street and Battery Park. 

The hardships that the homeless face in my community has had a tight hold on my heart and conscience ever since I was a kid. During college and in my first few years in New York City, I had opportunities to serve or volunteer, but for many reasons, I did not commit to them.

Who is New York City really for? How does our public school screening system contribute to segregation? Is there anywhere you can you afford a one-bedroom home on minimum wage? You’ll find articles that speak to these questions and more in this month’s Mercy & Justice Round-Up.

We seek to be a people who serve our poor and marginalized neighbors in both word and deed. We put feet to our faith as we tangibly serve our neighbors, and we also go to the Father on their behalf, presenting their needs to Him in prayer. Won't you join us in praying for our hungry neighbors this season?
