Spirit and Truth Christian Church in South Ozone Park, NY hosted its first ever food drive in an effort to assist the nearly 1.3 million people, including 1 in 5 children, struggling with food insecurity in New York City. Parishioners and members of the local community were encouraged to bring non-perishable food items, such as peanut butter, canned tuna, pasta, rice, and beans, to the church from October 16-November 15.
The food drive was quite the success as 250 pounds of food was collected - that's enough to provide more than 200 meals for their neighbors in need!
A-1 First Class Moving, an Atlas agent, kindly provided boxes for the event and volunteered to deliver the donations to the Island Harvest food bank.
We are so grateful to work with partners like Spirit and Truth Christian Church and A-1 First Class Moving, who are dedicated to ending hunger in their community!
Hunger is a year-round problem. Let's work together to host a food drive in your town this winter!
