LIM College Food Drive helped tailor the lives of those who are struggling with hunger in New York City. To many this remarkable city is the place that made their dreams comes true, however it is also the home to many residents who don’t know where to find their next meal.
Amanda Tedeschi exemplifies how just one person can make a huge difference in their community if you put your mind to it. By using her resources as an alumni of LIM College, she was able to piece together a powerful food drive to help those in need. She rallied up her peers, past professors and faculty, current students, and community members to help weave hunger out of the city.
The event was able to collect 1,000 pounds of food in just four weeks! With Thanksgiving around the corner, the holidays in sight, and the winter months approaching, many families and individuals are relying on food banks for their nutrition. It’s people like Amanda and the members of LIM College who give hope to these families this season.
More than 2.7 million people in New York live on incomes that put them at risk of hunger. Thirty-four percent of those in need are children. But thanks to all that participated in this food drive, those statistics are sure to decline.
Thank you to Amanda, LIM College, and all who donated for working together to help repair hunger in the city!
