*Director of Program Evaluation*

Now serving New York City for more than 30 years, City Harvest is the
world's first food rescue organization, dedicated to feeding the city's
hungry men, women, and children.
This year, City Harvest will collect 33 million pounds of excess food
from all segments of the food industry, including restaurants, grocers,
corporate cafeterias, manufacturers, and farms. This food is then
delivered free of charge to nearly 600 community food programs
throughout New York City using a fleet of trucks and bikes as well as
volunteers on foot. Each week, City Harvest helps over 300,000 hungry
New Yorkers find their next meal.

While meeting the immediate need for food in the five boroughs, City
Harvest ensures hungry New Yorkers have the food they need on an ongoing
basis, identifying communities with high rates of poverty and
diet-related diseases for additional support. Healthy Neighborhoods
targets supplemental deliveries of free fresh produce to these areas in
combination with a unique mix of nutrition education and other programs
to increase supply and demand for affordable, nutritious food. In
partnership with local residents and organizations, City Harvest is
working towards the vision of healthy, food secure neighborhoods.
