How do you write a recipe to halt hunger?

KNOW YOUR INGREDIENTS. We understand the need—the causes and the environment of poverty in New York City—and the people we serve. We tap into sustainable resources and solutions, and know that strong relationships matter.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT METHODS AND BE PRECISE. We plan strategically, with a comprehensive view and clear goals in sight. We’re organized prior to getting started. We meet demanding goals through careful implementation and timely execution. We’re guided by data, which we use to serve more people.

TEST. REVISE. ENGAGE. We analyze our data to ensure the results are in line with our goals. We try innovative techniques, revise, and adapt our strategies. Finally, we engage our whole community—from those we serve to donors, volunteers, and partner organizations. We know the dish can’t be completed without them.

One in six, nearly 1.4 million New Yorkers are food insecure, meaning they do not always have access to enough healthy food. Since 2000, food prices in the city are 25–50% above the national average. For those we serve, the cost of living in New York City is too high. New York Common Pantry is dedicated to reducing hunger throughout New York City while promoting dignity and self-sufficiency.

INGREDIENTS It’s crucial to source the best ingredients. Ours grow from the experience we’ve gained over three decades serving New Yorkers.

✓ We understand the ongoing need in the city and its In-depth understanding local effects by staying abreast of the latest events and research, and by surveying our participants of poverty and need (read their stories on pages 5, 8 and 11). We knew that after cuts to their SNAP benefits in in New York City 2013, 41% of surveyed Pantry members surveyed made up the gap with increased support from NYCP and other emergency food providers. We prepared our programs to maintain the level of service they needed.

✓ While NYCP is growing, we stay rooted in the Strong, people-centric communities we serve. Our focus on relationships means that our approach emphasizes partnerships. relationships For example, our expansion to serve all of New York City has begun by offering services at no cost, through existing organizations around the city. As we move to open our own new facilities at sites beyond East 109th Street, the programs they house will continue to rely on local partnerships. ✓ Our relationships bring support from throughout Sustainable resources, New York City, from across the U.S. and even abroad. Such support makes our services locally and around sustainable—as when volunteers contribute almost half our labor hours in a given year, when a the globe corporation lends us world-class expertise to solve a problem, or when Hudson Valley farmers supply affordable, healthy produce. Last year 66% of our food was donated, through partnerships large and small, and our financial donor base is growing as well.

Last year we established an Eat Smart New York program to enhance and expand Live Healthy! with support from the New York Office of Temporary Disability Assistance. Our education efforts now reach 4,800 participants in four boroughs each month, and the number of weekly classes has multiplied from 8 to 50. Live Healthy! Eat Smart New York fights obesity and other nutrition-related issues faced by city residents who use SNAP benefits. Its classes and activities offer lessons on healthful eating, nutrition, and active living, including eating on a budget, smart shopping for vegetables and fruit, exercise, gardening, and basic cooking and food safety skills.

CECILIA WAS TIRED OF BEING TIRED. THEN SHE JOINED LIVE HEALTHY!

Cecilia* began participating in the Live Healthy! Eat Smart classes in the Bronx with one goal in mind; she was tired of always being tired. Despite eating healthy and being active, Cecilia couldn’t shake her headaches and low energy level. One of the instructors encouraged her to complete a weekly food and activity log. After reviewing the log, Cecilia realized that while she made healthy food choices she was not ensuring she remained hydrated. The instructor and Cecilia talked about different ways to increase her water intake and Cecilia resolved to keep a water bottle with her. A few weeks later, during class, she mentioned that she had fewer headaches and more energy!
