Hunger Doesn’t Stop for the Holidays
Every November, as part of our ongoing efforts to address food insecurity in New York City, BJ supports the West Side Campaign Against Hunger (WSCAH) Healthy Foods Holiday Challenge (formerly known as the Turkey Challenge) to ensure that all New Yorkers can enjoy a healthy holiday meal with their loved ones.
WSCAH, one of our longest-standing justice partners, is among the largest emergency food providers in New York. With the remarkable surge in food demand in NYC, this year they aim to provide 13,000 holiday food packages.
At BJ, we know the power of our community can help those who may be facing challenges. A donation of just $75 provides a family with a turkey or other culturally appropriate alternative or vegetarian option, plus healthy groceries containing 50% fresh produce for their holiday meal.
Will you help us ensure WSCAH can provide New Yorkers in need with a holiday meal this season?
