During the spring of 2020, in less than 60 days the coronavirus left 2 million New York City residents facing food insecurity. ASG is closing the year with a food donation equivalent to 571,300 meals to help feed New Yorkers in an unprecedented year, a year where we witnessed the hardships happening in our own backyards.
Feeding America reported food banks in its network distributed nearly 57% more food in the third quarter of 2020, compared with the same period in 2019. Because ASG store owners are involved in their communities and through the direct relationships we have with civic leaders, food banks, media, and our wholesaler C&S, together we helped alleviate some of the food insecurity in 2020.
2020’s food donation recipients were City Harvest, Food Bank of NYC, Queensborough Community College, Rap4Bronx, and community centers in Brooklyn, The Bronx, and Brookhaven.
