  In a survey of teachers participating in our CookShop nutrition-education program for children, teens and adults, more than 97 percent reported their students more likely to try a new, healthy food because of the program. Meanwhile, 96 percent reported their students want to eat healthier and 92 percent said their students are actually making healthier food choices because of CookShop.

Food PantryOperated out of the Community Kitchen & Food Pantry of West Harlem, our food pantry allows low-income New Yorkers to select fresh produce and packaged food items themselves in a supermarket-style setting free of charge. Our pantry combines this choice-style model with a specially designed selection of food in order to provide for the dietary needs of diverse community. Open four days a week — Tuesdays and Thursdays, 10am–3pm; Wednesdays, 1–6pm; and Fridays 10am–2pm — our food pantry helps provide more than 22,700 free meals every month. The majority of the New Yorkers who benefit from the pantry receive food once a month. People living with HIV/AIDS are able to receive food once a week; family members are allowed to pick up pantry bags for homebound relatives living with HIV/AIDS. To learn more about the Community Kitchen's food pantry, located at 252 W 116 Street in Harlem, contact Jesse Taylor, Senior Director of Community Kitchen & Senior Food. Contact Heather Joseph, Volunteer Services Manager, for volunteer opportunities.  |
