GetFoodNYC
COVID has disrupted everything in our lives. For QARI, it changes how we provide our services to our clients. In 2020, QARI pivoted to respond to growing food and economic insecurity by partnering with local restaurants, grocers, and drivers to provide hundreds of thousands of culturally-sensitive meals to elders and families who are struggling to put food on their tables. Through this model, we can help stabilize local food businesses while making sure everyone who needs food can access it.
QARI is pleased to contract with the City of New York on their GetFoodNYC initiative and forward our mission to break barriers.
Between October 1st 2020 and June 30th 2021, QARI’s goal is to deliver one million free and nutritious meals to elders and families who are impacted by COVID-19.
While helping to feed people in our community, we are also providing free services and programs to help individuals and families in expanding their access to health care, education, workforce, youth empowerment activities, and elder cares.
We believe food is the fabric that ties a strong community together and a source of power to heal from a difficult and challenging year.
