NEW YORK, Nov. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- City Harvest, New York City's first and largest food rescue organization, today opened a first-of-its-kind, 150,000-square-foot food rescue center in Sunset Park, Brooklyn dedicated to rescuing and delivering tens of millions of pounds of food every year to help feed New Yorkers in need. As monthly visits to New York City food pantries and soup kitchens have risen by  69% since 2019 and continue to increase, the Cohen Community Food Rescue Center empowers the organization to rescue, store, and distribute twice as much food across the five boroughs. For the first time in City Harvest's 40-year history, the new Food Rescue Center will unite all of the organization's food rescue, repackaging, distribution, office, and community spaces under one roof. The Food Rescue Center was designed by Ennead Architects (Design Architect, Interior and Exterior), Rockwell Group (Interior Architectural Design for Event Space & Demonstration Kitchen), and Ware Malcomb (Logistics Spaces and Architect of Record). The opening coincides with City Harvest's 40th year serving New York City. Photos can be found here.

Key Points: 
  • City Harvest will rescue and deliver 75 million pounds of food this year, sustaining food rescue and delivery operations nearly 20% above pre-pandemic levels to meet the increased need.
  • City Harvest has always been about neighbors helping neighbors, and now the Cohen Community Food Rescue Center will allow us to serve even more of our fellow New Yorkers who are experiencing food insecurity by expanding our capabilities and scaling our operations even more efficiently.
