Project Renewal Launches Campaign to Feed and Employ Homeless New Yorkers During the Pandemic

This holiday season, Project Renewal has launched a fundraising campaign to feed and employ homeless and low-income New Yorkers during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically increased food insecurity, hitting already-vulnerable communities the hardest. Unemployment has also skyrocketed, reaching levels not seen since the Great Depression.

Project Renewals social-purpose catering company, City Beet Kitchens, has stepped up to meet the growing demand. We've more than doubled our reach to provide over 7,300 nutritious meals every day to residents of shelters and transitional housing across New York City.

Project Renewal also creates jobs—and livelihoods—for New Yorkers in need. Next year, we aim to enroll 100 formerly homeless or incarcerated adults in our award-winning culinary arts program. And, we will hire many of our graduates, adding to our staff of 90 full-time chefs, food service workers, and delivery drivers.

Your support will help us provide warm meals, culinary training, and stable jobs during the pandemic and beyond. 

Our generous Board of Trustees is matching every donation. Learn more and donate to the campaign here.
