Mobile Food Pantry Project

(stats from Coalition For the Homeless) NYC has reached the highest levels of homelessness since the great depression. In May of 2017 over sixty-one thousand homeless people were accounted for in the shelter system. 24,000 children over 15,000 single adults and over 15,000 families are plague by homelessness. They are a few thousands of unsheltered homeless sleeping on the street that go unaccounted for. 

As housing programs continue to aggressively get cut, shelters service are faltering, public housing units construction at a halt and New York State unwillingness to work with New York City to combat this crisis. its undoubtably growing and like anything that keeps persisting it can only get worse if we don’t act with urgency.

If we as a community come together the possibility of lifting someone spirits, provide a hot meal as well as information to help them get out of their situation we come closer to ending this epidemic that can plague anyone.

My project Food 4 good thought stem from me working in restaurants and witnessing massive amount of food go in the trash. I always thought to myself; "why don’t they feed the homeless.” I want to create a mobile food pantry service to be able to provide a service to those individuals who are unaccounted for and let them know that We Care.

With the project still in its infancy They way I want to establish these mobile food pantries is by having a 3 day event call We Care to raise funds for the mobile homes/vans. I will start a campaign on line with a #WeCare to start bringing awareness to the crisis.

I will need student volunteers:

• To reach out to local business/ restaurants/store fronts/ local farms to donate.
• To take pictures and do a small documentary on NYC Unsheltered in order to bring awareness
• To help organize the event and help feed the homeless
• To help bring awareness through social media/press

If you need more information or want to know more about the event/project. I can be contacted by:
