With the worsening economy, more people are finding themselves in need. The TC community can help this holiday season by making a donation as part of the City Harvest Holiday Food Drive at TC. All nonperishable foods will be accepted through December 22. The most needed food items are:
 
  • Canned fruits and vegetables and beans
  • Hot and cold cereal (packaged, family-sized)
  • Rice and pastas
  • Canned chicken and tuna
  • Shelf stable milk
  • 100 percent juices and juice packs
  • Canned and packaged soup mixes
  • Macaroni and cheese
  • Peanut butter in plastic jars 

The drop-off location is on the first floor of Zankel Hall, near the security desk. City Harvest is the world’s first food rescue organization. This year, City Harvest will collect 23 million pounds of excess food from all segments of the food industry, including restaurants, grocers, corporate cafeterias, manufacturers and farms. This food is then delivered free of charge to more than 600 community food programs throughout New York City.

The food drive is sponsored by the Office of the Provost and Dean of the College, Department of Health and Behavior Studies, Office of Diversity and Community, Office of Residential Services, Student Senate, and the Rita Gold Early Childhood Center.
