A big thank you to City Harvest doing what they do best! Bentex Group has donated 100 pounds of food, and in return this will be added to the collection of food that helps City Harvest feed nearly 1.4 million New Yorkers struggling to put meals on their tables.
"City Harvest pioneered food rescue in 1982 and, this year, will collect 55 million pounds of excess food. Through relationships with farms, restaurants, grocers, and manufacturers, City Harvest collects nutritious food that would otherwise got to waste and delivers it free of charge to 500 community food programs across the five boroughs.
