Raise For 5 in 35 is Food Bank’s latest campaign to expand upon the best solutions to fight poverty as it’s experienced by our city’s most vulnerable New Yorkers. As poverty reaches deeper into the pockets of every borough, solutions are charged to quickly expand in order to meet the increasing need. In some neighborhoods in our city, our charity network serves 1 out of every 3 of their neighbors. This is a unique problem requiring sustainable and focused interventions. With your support, Raise For 5 in 35 will build the capacity and solutions needed to reach the poorest communities, housing the poorest charities, serving the poorest New Yorkers. Learn about each of the 5 solutions below and JOIN US in our fight to bridge the service gap, bringing more solutions to the NYC communities where they are needed most.

A Kitchen for Our City →

Our city is currently experiencing the lowest number of soup kitchens in its history. Renovations to our Community Kitchen & Food Pantry in West Harlem will allow more hot nutritious meals to be prepared, stored, and shared and reduce waste for our charity network, thus ensuring that more food ends up on plates and less in costly local dumpsters.

← Innovating for Community Leadership

To date, our city has had no dedicated space for leaders in the hunger community to learn, share, and grow. So we’re renovating the 2nd floor of our Community Kitchen to establish the Innovation Center — the city’s ONLY training and development space for anti-hunger leadership to openly collaborate and foster new skills required to lift New Yorkers out of poverty.

Growing Green Sidewalks in NYC →

One of the fastest-growing side effects of hunger in low-income neighborhoods is high incidence of preventable diet-related illnesses, like diabetes and hypertension. Our innovative Green Sidewalk™ program helps our member food pantries with limited capacity and serving in the neediest communities to safely distribute fresh produce. Expanding Green Sidewalk™ will allow us to partner with charities on the basis of who’s hungry, rather than who’s equipped to accommodate fresh, nutritious food.

← Solutions x TEN

Lack of access to anti-poverty resources is often a barrier to New Yorkers seeking to overcome their circumstances and achieve greater independence. Food Bank’s Tiered Engagement Network (TEN) helps local-based charities work together to ensure eligible New Yorkers gain access to the resources available to them. We’re building TEN’s capacity by infusing new services and skills into the network, like financial coaching for working parents and Earned Income Tax Credit training for charities doing free tax prep.

Building Bridges, Closing Gaps →

Our average member charity has an operating budget of approximately $25K, far below the average operating cost for the charities in our city’s poorest neighborhoods. To help enhance their capacity to lead and serve in their communities, Food Bank is offering new Bridge Awards—aimed at building on our members’ skills and providing access to equipment and technical assistance to actualize more solutions where they’re needed most.
