City Harvest Named 2013 Nonprofit Organization of the Year

Evacuated during Sandy, City Harvest's Food Rescue Facility and the food inside were unscathed. However, as the parking lot outside flooded, all 18 of their trucks sustained damage. City Harvest quickly pulled together a rental fleet. Just two days after the storm hit NYC, the Food Rescue Facility was re-opened and began accepting tractor trailer loads of food for delivery to their network of some 600 soup kitchens and food pantries. Three days after the storm, with just 12 trucks operational, City Harvest transported upwards of 200,000 pounds of food.
