Join Share Lunch Fight Hunger 2026

Right now, 1 in 4 New York City children doesn't always know where their next meal will come from, and many families are further strained over the summer months when access to school meals may become limited. Every May, thousands of individuals and dozens of companies across New York City come together for Share Lunch Fight Hunger, a campaign to raise funds to help City Harvest provide nutritious food for our youngest neighbors and their families. When lots of people come together and take action, even by giving small amounts, we can make a big collective impact. Together, we can ensure that every child in NYC has access to the nourishing meals they need to thrive.

How to Get Involved

This year's campaign will run from May 4 to May 15, 2026, with an ambitious goal of helping feed more than 11,000 kids and their families for the entire summer.
