If every New Yorker went ORANGE...we could help end hunger.

In New York City, one in five children relies on emergency food — making children one of the largest groups affected by food poverty throughout the five boroughs. In addition, the Food Bank's NYC Hunger Experience 2008 report has shown that childhood hunger is increasing at an alarming rate: by 48 percent since 2003.

The Food Bank's Children's Programs provide an integrated approach to food poverty among children by emphasizing good nutrition and fitness in addition to providing food. Through our educational approach, these programs encourage the early development of healthy lifestyles while also supporting children's individuality and self-esteem.
