Hunger Action Month

Have you considered giving monetary donations to help support a NYC nonprofit? Hunger action month is the perfect time to do so, with donations going to help TCAH purchase the healthy food needed to keep vulnerable adults, children, and seniors from going hungry. No one should go hungry, especially during Hunger action month. By donating to TCAH, corporations not only advance the greater good by building food security but demonstrate the company’s commitment to making New York City a better and more equitable place.

White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health: It’s been more than 50 years since the first and only White House Conference on Food, Nutrition, and Health was held in 1969. That pivotal event helped galvanized actions that included the creation of programs like school lunches, the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), and changes to how we label food. The 2022 conference aims to develop a strategy to accelerate progress and drive transformative change in the U.S to end hunger, improve nutrition and physical activity, and close the disparities surrounding them.

TCAH has an urgent need for volunteers at our food pantry at 2004 Fulton Street and our food distribution center (FDC) at 744 Berriman Street in Brooklyn.  Pantry volunteers primarily assist clients with selecting food items in its market area.  FDC volunteers help staff with completing online customer orders, which are picked up by DoorDash employees.  Corporate and community groups and individuals are encouraged to apply. Please contact Michael, our Volunteer Resource Manager, with any questions or concerns at extension 115 or mschaefer@tcahnyc.org.
