Why Run for Gotham?
Gotham Food Pantry advances food justice by rescuing surplus food and delivering it directly to NYCHA communities across New York City. With your support, we’re expanding tenant-led food pantries, wellness events, and neighborhood distribution hubs that provide millions of pounds of fresh produce and groceries every year.

Direct Impact
Every dollar raised helps rescue and deliver healthy food that would otherwise go to waste.
Community-Led Solutions
We empower residents to lead sustainable, self-run distribution operations.
Proven Scale
In 2024 alone, Gotham rescued and distributed more than 5 million pounds of food, serving over 160,000 New Yorkers.
