They were able to do so by participating in meal packing events to participating in delivering food after races such as the Big Apple Race in NYC (5k |10k |Half-Marathon), Liffey really committed to aiding those in need.

With their dedication and hard work, Liffey have worked tirelessly to bring a grand total of 17,355 lbs of food to the NYC area since joining us. In translation: they’ve brought almost 14,500 meals to those in need. We couldn’t be more thrilled and thankful to be working with such amazing people!

Inflation & food insecurity are on the rise

Cuts to SNAP benefits and inflation have had a devastating economic impact and filled the lines at food banks and pantries across the country. More than 47 million Americans including 1 in 5 children are struggling with food insecurity and do not know where their next meal is coming from.
