FoodChange

About this Organization:
The mission of FoodChange is to improve lives through nutrition, education and financial empowerment. Founded in 1980, FoodChange provides emergency meals to New York City?s hungry children and adults. Through education and direct service, we increase low-income people?s knowledge of nutrition and healthy foods and try to make wholesome eating a daily reality for all New Yorkers . And, to enhance people?s ability to afford healthy foods, we help them identify, capture and maximize all the government benefits to which they are entitled. As an agent of change, FoodChange realizes that the issues of hunger, nutrition and income are interconnected in a complex way and require creative solutions. We use direct service, education, technical assistance, policy analysis and advocacy to achieve our goals. This organization also serves as a Low Income Taxpayer Clinic.
