City Harvest is New York’s first and largest food rescue organization, helping to feed millions of New Yorkers who struggle to put meals on their tables. They rescue more than 75 million pounds of fresh, nutritious food and deliver it―free of charge―to more than 450 food pantries, soup kitchens, community partners and to their own Mobile Markets across the five boroughs. Special thank you to Cruz of City Harvest who picked up the cans after the event.
