Skip Lunch, Fight Hunger
MAY 20, 2011
Help feed the city’s hungry kids with what you’d spend on lunch.
In New York City, it’s not uncommon to spend as much as $10 on lunch without thinking twice. With that same $10, City Harvest can feed over 43 children. Skip Lunch Fight Hunger is a citywide initiative that asks individuals to donate what they would normally spend on lunch to help feed New York City’s hungry children and their families. By collectively bringing together our lunch money on May 23rd (or before) we can make a significant impact on hunger in our city. There are many children who are dependent on school lunches who go hungry in the summer. Any amount helps City Harvest rescue and deliver good food for hungry kids and their families for just 23 cents a pound.
· $5 can help feed 3 children for a week
· $10 can help feed 14 moms and their children for one day
· $15 can help feed 2 children for an entire month
If you’d like to participate, you can make a tax-deductible contribution online at the Prudential Douglas Elliman team’s fundraising page on City Harvest’s Skip Lunch website.
