Empowering Youth

Our Children’s Harvest Festivals in Brooklyn and Queens reached new heights, with nearly 1,500 attendees across both events. From laughter to learning, these gatherings brought together families from diverse backgrounds, showing the true essence of community.Innovating for Change
This year we launched our E-market that brings farm-fresh produce directly to New Yorkers at an affordable price, while our Fresh Vibes Market continued to sell locally-grown, low-cost fresh fruits and veggies to low-income families in all five boroughs. These initiatives support sustainable access to fresh food, paving the way for healthier communities.Youth Voices Leading the Way
The Queens Voices of Change Youth Conference, which featured discussions on leadership and resilience, inspired 150 participants and proved the potential of our youth to drive positive change.-

Who We Are
The Campaign Against Hunger was founded in 1998 with the mission to empower its neighbors to lead healthier, more productive and self-sufficient lives by increasing their access to nutritious food and related resources. We fight poverty using a multi-tiered approach that incorporates access to wholesome food, key social services and nutrition education. Every month, TCAH serves approximately 30,000 food insecure individuals through our Client-choice food pantry and mobile units. Annually, we grow over 20,000 pounds of fresh produce on two youth-led urban farms funneled into food deserts across the city so that EVERYONE can enjoy nutrient-dense, locally grown produce furthering our mission to impact communities via healthy eating. As the first supermarket-style emergency feeding program in Brooklyn, we have served as a replicable model to other traditional pantries who have now converted their pantries to client-choice. In 2009, we were the first CBO to establish a farm-to-pantry distribution loop to supplement the fresh produce provided by the food pantry and have since assisted and motivated others to do likewise. All of our efforts converge around assisting our neighbors, closing the hunger gap and preparing families to become independent.
