Food Bank For New York City is the major supplier of food for more than one million New Yorkers though our network of more than 1,000 emergency and community food programs throughout the five boroughs -- including soup kitchens, food pantries, shelters, low-income daycare centers, Kids Cafes and senior, youth and rehabilitation centers. Those in need include women and children, the elderly, people with disabilities and the working poor. For every $1 donation, 97 cents goes toward food acquisition, distribution and programs. In addition to food, the Food Bank offers education and technical support to our network of programs and serves as a research and public policy resource center for legislators, the media and the public. Charity Navigator -- the nation's largest independent charity evaluator -- gave the Food Bank For New York City its third, consecutive highest four-star rating for excellence and efficiency in the successful management of organizational finances.
