throughout New York City. We do this through food
rescue and distribution, education, and other
practical, innovative solutions.

8. VOLUNTEERS SAVE FOOD THAT WOULD BE
THROWN AWAY BY RESTAURANTS.

9. CITY HARVEST
 A group of ordinary citizens became troubled by the
large number of fellow New Yorkers who didn't have
enough to eat. When they saw that local restaurants were
discarding perfectly good food, these volunteers
responded by enlisting friends and borrowing cars to
transport the leftover food to where it was needed most.
This idea led to the creation of City Harvest in 1982.
 City Harvest has distributed more than 300 million
pounds of food to a network of nearly 600 community
food programs throughout NYC.

 “We have more than 15,000 flower bulbs to plant in
Washington Square Park before winter. We have set up
two volunteer days so that you can help us get this
project done before the cold weather settles in. The bulbs
we plant now will be the first flowers to bloom in the
spring and always create a joyful and colorful display.
Join your neighbors and bring your friends to do your
part for Washington Square Park.”
