Penny Harvest NYC / Metro NY
Starting in 2009, Common Cents challenged Penny Harvest students to address the difficulties individuals, and families alike, faced during the economic crisis. We asked to them think about the issue of hunger on a global scale, but to respond locally. The Full Pantry Project is an initiative to give students the ability to directly support issues dealing with hunger in their communities. In turn, many food pantries have developed strong partnerships with their neighborhood school that continue to grow each year.
During the 2010-11 school year, students made 200 grants and donated over $50,000 to support families in need, local food pantries, and combatting hunger worldwide! In 2010, Student Leaders raised approximately $44,000 to help feed families in need. In total, 137 grants were made to 44 Food Pantries in New York City. In the Full Pantry Project’s inaugural year, 2009, Student Leaders across New York City made over 300 grants to their local food pantries totaling over $70,000!

How to get Involved Once you've connected with your food pantry, fill out this pledge to continue supporting your food pantry next year. 80% of food pantries report that more families with children are coming to their pantry for food. The Penny Harvest Full Pantry Project helps New Yorkers who are struggling to feed themselves and their families. Find out more at the Global Relief: Hunger Student Resource Center. Faces of Hunger - Video created by Penny Harvest students Faces of Hunger is a documentary created by Global Philanthropy Student (GPS) Interns. It explores what hunger looks like in New York City. Use the Faces of Hunger educational guide to help students deepen their understanding and dig deeper into the issue of hunger. |
