Third graders at The Town School are actively participating in City Harvest's annual Feed Our Kids Food Drive, pooling their chore money to provide non-perishable food to children in need around New York City. This year's effort is especially important due to rising living costs and decreased government support for food pantries. City Harvest, the city's largest food rescue organization, is committed to delivering nutritious food to those experiencing food insecurity, particularly during the summer months when meal access is limited. The food drive, which commenced on May 11 and runs until June 15, focuses on collecting vital resources for families.
