NYC Free Food Resources

Nobody should go hungry in the wealthiest nation in the history of the planet  🌎 Zero Hunger also happens to be the second of the 17 SDG (Sustainable Development Goals) by the United Nations. More specifically “End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture" by 2030. It aims to end all forms of hunger, ensure everyone has access to safe and nutritious food, and promote sustainable farming practices. Key targets include ending all forms of malnutrition, doubling the productivity and incomes of small-scale food producers, and ensuring sustainable food production systems.

May we all promote and are intentional about fighting food injustices
