Why It Matters
Food Security & Nutrition
New Yorkers experience food insecurity, including approximately one in four children. 53% of adults in NYC households below 200% of the federal poverty level experienced low or very low food security, representing approximately 992,000 adults.
Clothing & Essential Needs
51% of NYC adults lived in families experiencing at least one form of material hardship, including difficulties meeting food, housing, financial, medical, or utility needs.
Healthcare Access & Medical Outreach
Access to healthcare remains out of reach for many New Yorkers. Lack of insurance, financial limitations, and other barriers cause residents to go without necessary medical care, while those living in poverty face a disproportionate burden of serious health limitations.
Harm Reduction & Overdose Prevention
One overdose death occurs approximately every four hours in NYC. Despite significant improvements in 2024, Black and Latino New Yorkers continued to experience overdose death rates approximately twice those of white New Yorkers.
Be Part of the Change
Whether you give your time, your voice, or your support, you can help restore dignity and improve the lives of others. Together, we can make sure compassion reaches everyone who needs it.
