It's not too late to VOTE!

I understand you may not feel the most patriotic. You may feel angry, frustrated, unheard, numb, anxious, nervous, scared. Those in power want us to feel helpless. But there is so much we can do - the easiest step is vote. Your vote, your voice matters. PLEASE vote. Voting is an important time to reflect on your values. Is your vote matching your values? For me, my biggest value is community. I cannot succeed if my community does not succeed. I am not ok if my community is not ok.

Once you vote, find your local food pantry and support them. Contribute funds, donate dry goods. Is ICE in your community? Purchase a whistle and be prepared to use it. Look up the slogan SALUTE to be prepared to help your neighbors. Check out your local community center and see what their current needs are. How can you volunteer and support their needs? Give financially, give your time, give your physical abilities. It all counts.

We may not be able to solve all the big world problems, but start small. I will never stop believing that change is possible, but it certainly isn’t if you never try. Small steps over time creates the ripple effect. So what are you waiting for? Get moving, my friends. It’s never too late.

This month, 20% of our proceeds will go to City Harvest.

City Harvest exists to end hunger in communities throughout New York City. They do this through food rescue and distribution, education, and other practical, innovative solutions.​

More than 40 years ago, City Harvest helped to start the food rescue movement. Today, in response to the persistently high need for food assistance in New York City and their commitment to sustainability, City Harvest continues to provide fresh, nutritious food to our neighbors experiencing food insecurity.
This year, they will rescue more than 86 million pounds of high-quality food from local and national sources that would otherwise go to waste and deliver it, free of charge, to hundreds of food pantries and soup kitchens across the five boroughs so that New Yorkers have the food they need to thrive. By rescuing this perfectly good food—more than 70% of which is fresh produce—they are preventing more than 25 million kilograms of CO2 from entering the atmosphere this year alone.
But that’s not all they do. With deep connections to the communities where they work and with a focus on localized investment, City Harvest is dedicated to strengthening their network of agency partners and the local food system through capacity building, advocacy, volunteering, and nutrition and culinary education.
Together, they are feeding our city—one day, one meal, one New Yorker at a time.
