How We Help

We never quit helping New Yorkers regain stability in their lives.

Helping New Yorkers
every way we can.

Stability begins with a healthy meal and groceries, but it doesn’t end there. Rent, healthcare, benefits—New Yorkers from all over the region need the basics and then some. We are here to partner with our friends and neighbors until they are stable and back on their feeet.

Food Access

We help New Yorkers get healthy groceries and hot meals.

Health & Hygiene

A shower, a haircut, a healthy, budget-friendly recipe—we’re helping New Yorkers lead healthier lives.

Benefits Access

We help our guests secure essential benefits like SNAP, Medicaid, rent reductions, and disability support.

When the numbers
tell a story...

In 2026, our dedicated team partnered with 15,000+ volunteers to help support our friends and neighbors.

We served 12.6M meals.

We worked with over 811K visitors and helped secure over $10.9M in critical resources for them.

We also rescued over 1.3M pounds of fresh produce that we were able to serve our guests. 

Come be a part of our story and volunteer!
