Bitly, the company behind the popular URL shortener, hosted their second annual holiday food drive last month. In 2015, Bitly's staff was able to collect 150 pounds of food and they hoped to top that this year.
Not only did that surpass last year's total, they almost doubled it by collecting an impressive 250 pounds of food - that's enough to provide more than 200 meals!
Liffey Van Lines once again volunteered to provide boxes for the collection and delivered the donations to the New York Common Pantry.
More than 1.3 million people, including 1 in 5 children, in New York City face hunger every day. Thank you to everyone at Bitly and Liffey Van Lines helping your neighbors in need this holiday season!
Anyone can host a food drive. We can help!
