Help TCAH provide meals to families facing hunger this Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is around the corner. This year especially, many of us look forward to gathering with friends and family to celebrate over food; however, many vulnerable New Yorkers worry about how they will provide a Thanksgiving meal for their families.
Every Thanksgiving, The Campaign Against Hunger serves thousands of community members who cannot afford a turkey, ham, or chicken to make dinner. This is a painful experience and an all too common reality for many in our city. Last year, at one of our Thanksgiving distribution events, we had lines wrapped around eight city blocks as our neighbors waited in the cold to access their Thanksgiving meat and food supplies.
Affording food has become an unbelievable burden for our neighbors. This Thanksgiving, we strive to provide enough Thanksgiving meat to turn away no one who comes to us.

Project Turkey is an annual fundraiser spearheaded by long-time TCAH supporter, Noah Lukeman. Project Turkey is another way that you can help provide Thanksgiving meals to New Yorkers in need. Being unable to afford a turkey for one’s family on Thanksgiving is a painful experience, and an all-too-common reality for America’s hungry, 50% of whom are children. Project Turkey aims to rectify this situation. By choosing one of New York City’s largest food pantries serving some of NYC’s hardest-hit neighborhoods (BedStuy/Brownsville/East New York), we strive to provide enough turkeys this Thanksgiving so that no one is turned away hungry from The Campaign Against Hunger, a 501-c-3 that feeds hundreds of families each day.
