Food_bank_banner Admittedly the snack life is the luxe life. Surrounded by chefs (both at home and abroad) I have more than my share of good meals and thankfully have never gone hungry. To attain karmic balance and to turn my gratitude to generosity, I’ve been an avid supporter of The food Bank For New York City for many years. Since 1983, it’s filled the pantries of more than 1200 community kitchens (in the five boroughs) with about 67 million pounds of food annually, feeding 240,000 people a day. 94¢ of every dollar goes directly into their programs.  One dollar = Five meals.

Food_bank_pinThis week snack is going orange (along with the Empire State Building, Time Out New York and Fleishman Hillard, just to name a few) to help raise awareness and end hunger. What can you do? Host a virtual food drive or cooking party. Make a donation of $25 and wear the pin designed by Matt Mahurin.

Orange is our color. This week make it yours too because there should not be 2 million hungry people in our city.
