We Support Healthy Lifestyles
Healthy LIFE provides community access to hunger prevention sites and nutritional resources. We are committed to providing support services and programs that give people access to nutritional resources in their neighborhood. We work in partnership with congregations and community organizations to establish food pantries, soup kitchens and hunger prevention and collections sites. There are currently more than 50 sites in the Metropolitan New York area. We are striving, with your help, to establish one hundred sites by 2012.
A congregation can support the mission of Healthy LIFE by:
| • Starting a food pantry or soup kitchen at church • Volunteering at a Hunger Prevention Location • Participating in Run2Feed event • Sponsoring a Run2Feed participant • Hosting an event to support Run2Feed |
