Liberty Partners

Leaders in the Fight to End Hunger in New York City

When you support the Food Bank For New York City with a gift of $1,000 or more, you join a special group — Liberty Partners — those who are deeply committed to ending hunger. To become a Liberty Partner, donate online now or contact Peter W. Jones, Major Gifts Officer.

In New York City, approximately 1.3 million people rely on emergency food to get by. Liberty Partners are leaders who recognize the scale and scope of our efforts to end hunger. Through your partnership, the Food Bank is able to rise to this challenge — providing food for our city's residents who are struggling to meet their most basic needs.

Supporting the Food Bank is also a wise investment: 96 cents of every dollar goes directly toward food acquisition, distribution and programs. For the fourth year in a row, Charity Navigator, the nation's largest charity evaluator, gave the Food Bank its top, four-star rating for excellence in successfully managing finances in an efficient and effective manner. At the Food Bank, your gift helps more.
